40lbs! "In thrust we trust"
What about:
Idle thrust increased by 30%
Engine weight increased by 40%
Fuel consumption increased by 20%

I'm not a really big fan of up sizing just for the sake of it. Never loose the prospect that you'll have to land your model at some point. Coming in the flare 30% faster is a good recipe for bounced landing, high energy impact and premature airframe/ gear wear.
I'm sure you've seen that in your flight carrier before...

This is all discussed here:
