Best Engine For An EP3?

Can anyone tell me what the best engine is for a 2003 ep3 7th gen civic? Now to be a little more specific I'm looking for set off speed not top speed, id like an engine that will accelerate extremely quickly. I'm kinda new to this engine swapping stuff so i like to know people opinions, also if you guys could tell me maybe the set up and what engine is good for what!

you have an K20A3 engine, better to work on that. They respond to mods way more than the D17A2 most of us here have
