dont know all the answer mate but 4-2-1 is for over all power through out all revs and a 4-1 is for top end i think

are you asking will a vtr inlet and cams fit a 1.1? im only guessing that as you have a 1.1 in your little description, as you haven't actually stated in your question

and yes the 4-2-1 is better low down power and the the 4-1 is better in the power band ie higher up the revs

if your looking value for money for a 4-2-1

Raceland do a good one, though there is a tad modification need on the bottom to fit the gearbox bolt

also he will have to convert to the mk1 oil filter set up, you might as well get a 4-1, its a little more expensive but will fit straight on and for the price of the parts to convert to a mk1 oil filter you could have just paid a little more for the 4-1 so would work out cheaper

But would the VTR benefit as much from power higher up the Rev range... Cause it only goes up to 6250 ?

Im currently debating which one to go for too. The 4-1 Straight fit which is 168 quid, Or the cheaper 4-2-1 ( £150) which requires the oil filter relocating... Iv heard there is negligable difference performance wise in either of these manifolds to a VTR, but in general people say the 4-2-1 would probably be the better option to spread the gains evenly between low and mid, and also compliment the R's shorter rev range

i said it helps in the 'power band' which is higher up the rev range, so it doesnt matter what revs your power band is in

also on a standard car i cant see anyone even noticing the difference so id rather pay an extra £18 for the 4-1
