I like the look of the 1x4 with the turkey pan, which is why I chose that for my car. It went a little against my grain of originality, since S/Cs came with 2x4s. But since S/Cs were leftover comp cars, and comp cars used 1x4, well that worked for me
. I think the 1x4 with T-pan looks more period correct than the 2x4 does, but that's just my personal taste.
I have tuned plenty of cars with 2x4s, and as long as they are setup right, they run great. In particular, the throttle response from the dual 450 mechanical setup is unlike anything else.
