...for the below photo?

I took this shot for a close friend and he submitted it to Comp Cams 35 Anniversary Poster contest and it was selected as one of the few (few is relative as they used a good number of photos to make up the large #35 on the poster, but it's still a select few population of all the motor heads in the US that submitted photos). I want to present this photo in a B&W version I have below in an 8" to 14" size (it's 21mp at 300dpi so decent resolution).

How would you have it printed? I have zero print experience.

I'd add contrast and blacks, and try it on metallic paper. Not really sure what question you're asking.

Metallic paper...I've heard about that...does it look like metal medium? It's open ended question...more like if you were to print, then how would you print it?

Thanks.
