You want the best performance possible. Problem is you end up giving up the street use at some point.
True story. Bought a rather rare BMW in 2003 and HPDE tracking shortly after acquiring. By 2006, I replace with similar model in every way except, the rare for the model, (S54 Mcoupe) S54 motor. I stripped and caged the new one. Aluminum bushings and heim joint suspension points with +3 inch track. Finally a Jerico dog box and LS. It just never ends and of course this car will never see a street again.
Goood luck with the mods.

Ohh I know the rabbit hole all too well. Bought a 95 Camaro with a blown LT1 to have fun little burn out car, nothing serous. Started with a 350 and mild cam & headers. Ended with it caged, full tubular suspension, solid motor mounts, stripped interior, etc. It had it's quirks for sure but I still drove it regularly. Was a fairly nice ride on the street too, no obnoxious drone from 55-75. When I lived in a neighborhood the neighbors didn't like the 5500 stall at 530am leaving for work through our hilly neighborhood. Pulled the drivetrain and it will be going in the truck with all the no limit goodies.
