The original one, because it doesn't make you look sound like a barry boy 

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Nah, the redline's about 6500 iirc, but it runs out of puff at 4000 (actually about 4200). Flat as a pancake after that. The only time you'll get to 4500rpm if you know the car is in 5th, and not legally in this country 
It's a beautiful engine though, truly amazing, completely unique in it's laid back way. Powerful, torquey and built like a TANK! Just don't expect it to be pokey
