What kind of 40 amp circuit breakers are you using?

Just to be clear here, if you stall your CIMs when you're trying to climb, you're not moving anyway. You'll want to design your hanger so it runs at 30-some amps (or less) under load to get as close to the max power as you safely can. A little under is a good idea since your battery voltage will have dropped during the match.
You can generally safely run 1.5x-2x the breaker current for a few seconds without trouble. It's how most single speed drives begin pushing matches.
