Wishful thinking at best. Their figure is 200hp at the crank now and when you do the standard enthusiast scientific process of -20% to the wheels (lol), you're looking at a paltry ~160whp. Most likely you won't see big numbers on a flash, and especially common bolt-ons regardless of the CR and race gas. Best case scenario, you would get around that at the crank, but that's best case scenario once again. Who knows though, maybe there's room to play with the flash, but I highly doubt it.
