If you can afford the 45's get them, the R1's are cheaper and thats it.

i had 48's on my nova xe. it was great. smelled of petrol, sounded like a loud bark and was generally shocking on fuel consumption. it made 181bhp with a large bore exhaust manifold and a ported head. it was fairly bloody fast back in 2001.

my corsa with R1 carbs on the xe ran 181bhp and did a 14.1 quater mile.
just had carbs and manifold back exhaust.
Was really fast and pulled like a train but drank so much fuel.

throttle bodies would be much better in all honesty. Although costly.

I think I will. Blowing away my mate's precat 205 1.9 GTi today made me fall in love with it all over again.
