JDL 4-2-1 isn’t a long tube header.
Nameless still has short 4-2 runners, it has long 2-1 runners before the merge for great mid range. But needs longer 4-2 runners for top end.
ACE has long 4-2 runners, the 4-2 runner length before the merge is as long or longer than the 4-1 EL runners. Allowing for good top end and then has the scavenging and efficiency of the 2-1 step down for mid range giving you best of both worlds. The later can be adjusted by the OP design 150/250/350 allowing more mid range or more top end by adjusting those lengths. But even the 350 has good top end because of the 4-2 length and the 150 has decent mid range because of the 4-2-1 design. In my personal opinion the ace 250 is the perfect no compromise header.
