Default Jato 3.3 or Hellfire upgrade?

I have a Hellfire which I bought when they first came out. I love the truck, but when I saw the Jato is out with the new 3.3, and now the sweet song of speed is calling me. Would it be possible to get the Hellfire up to 60MPH with a pullstart engine and gearing? I already have the 16t bell on it, and I've bought the lightweight 53t spur gear, but haven't installed it yet. I'm thinking of getting a new motor, because mine has a low speed hesitation that annoys me, but I'm worried that I won't find a pullstart engine that will rev as high as the 4.6. I know it's overrated, but it's quite a bit higher than the O.S, and others that have specs listed I've heard the RB's, and other italian engines will rev high, but for the cost, I can almost buy the Jato. Would a cheaper engine and gearing get the job done, or should I just go with the Jato.

I'd really love it if someone designed a 2 speed for the Hellfire.[]
