This is too vague of a question:
State your goals (HP), use of car (DD, S/Stp), what are you willing to compromise, your actual mods, possible future mods etc......
Otherwise all the answers will do nothing but confuse you.

depending on how much of a lopey idle you want, the 047 for a little more sound or the 056 for more agressive. both will provide more overall power throughout the curve.
