First time speeder needs help

I want to put a racer together. No racing at my club- but I just want to try it out.

Should I get the GP Viper 500 or the Lanier Predator?

I have an OS 46FX for power. Is this too much for either of these planes? I'd like to run a tuned(not muffled) pipe on the plane for max HP and speed if possible.

Is it okay to use JR4721 servos on it? Do I need to get mini servos? What size RX batteries are you using? 6V? 4.8V? NiCd or NiMH?

Do I need a bubbless tank? Do you set it on the CG or right behind the firewall?

Any other advice for a first time speed freak would be appreciated.

Thanks
