Like Bradh said build it to suit the application. That is the true road to a fun car that drives like a stocker and will fry the tires at will. Combine lots of cubes with good heads, mild cam for the torque range you want, and you will be happy you went that way. Attention to details of what makes a stock type motor faster will put the icing on the cake. By that I mean cold air package, sharp tune, a VERY well designed exhaust, MAYBE underdrive pulleys, etc.
