Where would they pull 10 hp from? 10 hp is a huge amount of power to pull from a ~200hp NA engine with just a retune. You can't even get that on the FA20 from an aftermarket tune, which ignores emissions and restricts you to use high octane only. Manufacturers can't do that. The only way they would pull 10hp out fo the engine without breathing/head mods would be to add a flexfuel system, but that seems very unlikely since the complexity of the dual injection system would involve a sensor on both fuel systems and require a ton of effort to handle the DI/PI switchover sufficiently enough to satisfy their internal requirements. not to mention the added cost of the system.

IMO not happening. You get spring rates and bumpers. Maaaaaaybe FD change.
