With that motor and controller, you are going for a daily driver, not a drag strip challenger. I would also assume you would want to keep costs reasonable.
That combination tells me that you only have two major choices. You can go with large format LiFePO4 cells like CALB, probably 100 Ah, or you can repurpose a Leaf pack. Personally, at this point, I would go with the Leaf pack. There have been some people on the list who have been doing that lately.
