The car was engineered to have a very small engine in the front. Make that engine more powerful with revised cams, or tweaking the DI system, but if they bring up a more powerful version which adds 50+ pounds to the engine bay I will be disappointed.

Not sure that increasing the engine capacity within the existing block would add much additional weight.
If they only adjust the bore dimensions of the FA20 (to say, 94mm) the pistons may heavier (though not necessarily) and you may need a slightly larger radiator, but the increase in weight would be very small.
