Why 45's?  what size venturi's are you using?  32?  36?  If so, then 45's
won't buy you anything over your 40's.

As for filters, I'd try to find a Euro air box that will get you a cold air
supply from somewhere other than inside the engine compartment.  Velocity
stacks, etc, draw hot air from the engine compartment, that will result in a
loss of HP.
