Very unlikely. All engines nowadays are basically maximized from the factory, that's why the only real gains these days are removing emissions equipment and tuning for E85. Even with turbo cars, E85 and crank the boost.

This isn't the Fox-body Mustang days anymore, where you could take a 225hp V8 and do an intake/maf/headers and pickup 50+ hp.
