Unless restricted by competition regs it does look pointless to start with the M40.

Say the OP fitted the ITBs, reworked the head, fitted custom cam shaft and exhaust, possibly even needing a bigger rad to deal with the extra cooling, then spent hours on the dyno to get everything running perfectly and upped the power output by 25% what would he have?

About what an M42 makes but without the reliability.
Yeah it's like trying to build a road racing bike and insisting on using a mountain bike frame.

OPs decision though, we don't need to understand it :)
