My honest thoughts are, unless you building a full race engine, stick with the 40, or if you already have a 45, stick some small chokes in it. For road use, the 45 is too much - 95% of driving is with the throttles ony just cracked open so your always driving on the idle jets and progression drillings which leaves little tuning possibilities. If I havd the money to to it all again, I would use a 40.
