The torque dip never bothered me. Based on recommendations of people who have track experience with both, I went with the more midrangey header option over maximum peak for better performance at the track with a stock engine spinning to 7400-7600. As mentioned, my bud's same-year 86 with similar mods but 4-1 EL header had objectively less drive out of corners and no speed advantage on the straights despite 5 more peak whp.
Another big factor was that a used Ace-350 turned up in the classifieds...
