am going for a moderate tune of about 140 150bhp building it balanced and lightened not the crank yet, should i buy 45's or 48's as in the furture i
am aiming of fitting nos?

I certainly wouldnt advise fitting 48's. With your predicted power output you are on the crossover between 40s and 45s. For road use, the car will be
far more pleasurable to drive on 40s, and will be easier to set up for part throttle use, where you will spend most of your time. Top end power will
only be reduced slightly, if at all.
Also, if fitting Nitrous, carb size is irrelevent as the extra oxegen within the gas that is injected is what gives the extra power, the carbs having
no effect at this point.
Dont just build it.....make it!
