Well, the 1st gen also didn't strictly *require* mods

True, I stand corrected!

I'm skeptical that something that's marginally efficient for a 2.0L engine will be enough for a 2.4L engine that generates ~15-20% more heat.

It will be trackable with no mods, just like the current car, but the front tires are gonna hate it tho :O

Yeah it's not like you
can't track the stock car (2nd gen or 1st gen); but rather whether it's economically reasonable (burning through tires, stressing the engine increasing the chances of a failure, changing oil more frequently, etc.) and pleasant (torque dip, understeer, worrying about oil temps).
