Puuting the larger sprocket on will move your axle forward making your wheelbase slightly shorter, though I doubt you will notice it. Shorter wheelbase quickens the steering with the downside being slightly less stability, but like I said it's probably not enough for you to notice.
45 > 47 tooth sprocket/change queston
What will happen if I put a 47 sprocket on my chain I've has 45T on. Will I need to move my rear forward a great deal and mess up my handeling? Give some feedback. Thinking about changing the sprocket in between races. Possible without putting a new chain on, and if so, worth it?

Good to know, I'm thinking about trying it out, possibly in a TD to see how it feels first before a racePuuting the larger sprocket on will move your axle forward making your wheelbase slightly shorter, though I doubt you will notice it.

As Todd said, two teeth won't make much difference to the length of chain needed...you probably won't even notice the difference in the position of the rear
