good project to receive outstanding performance in company

How would you, in all seriousness, expect us to be able to answer that?
We don't know your position, current rating, company, what your company does, how your company does it, what your job should involve, what tools you use, what tools your company uses, your skill level, what your office politics are like, how your boss would react, how your bosses boss would react to you effectively going over your bosses head, and about fifty other factors which would probably have to be taken into account...

You have just joined. That is the point. You do not know enough about how the company works in practice (as opposed to in theory) to start gaming the system. The best that can happen is that you will likely get nothing useful out of it. The worst is you make an enemy for life, out of someone who is almost certainly higher up in the company and in a position to do your career no good at all.

As JSOP says: you best bet is to be good at what you are given to do.

Keep your eyes and ears open - but do not assume that there is a simple fast-track approach which will always work. There isn't, or your cow-orkers would have already used it...
