Determine your usage and configuration first. Street driving? Open track days? Drag racing? And emissions of course!

Also your configuration. Current 17" or 18" tires? 15" Nitto 555R drag radials? Or 15" Goodyear tires designed for a Ford Galaxie? And your tolerance for a tricky launch.

Then you can better make the tradeoffs.

A bigger displacement, lower tune motor is easier to drive around town. A high reving, flat torque curve engine may be easier on the track. A bigger displacement, high power motor will crack a stock block!
