Tom is correct, these engines have enough grunt to pull from about anywhere, but they have to be built with that in mind.

Aluminum or cast iron heads really have nothing to do with the overall package, but you will need a mild camshaft to make that package work.

I would take a look at what speed you will be doing the most driving and work around that. Cruising at a steady speed is just part of the whole experience, and IMO, that overall gear ratio is going to be lacking.
