That's really up to you. You can put whatever you want in it.

Re: what motor?
Set a budget and try to stick to it. It is easy to get carried away (ie. starting with a 300hp engine and ending up wanting more power, which = more $).

Re: what motor?
You're not going to get 600 HP for 2 or 3 thousand dollars. Pick a more realistic goal.

Re: what motor?
for 2-3k a good used 600cc sport bike will put you into the 11's and get
40-50mpg
it does not take 600hp to go 11's
600 will not be a street motor unless you achieve that with a bottle
If you can buy whatever you want, then buy what you want. There is no right or wrong answer, but you don't sound like you are being realistic about your goals v/s finances
