I'm sure they can do some work to bump that up like they did with the OG M2's N55, but not sure it will reliably get to at least the same power output as M2C without major upgrades to the B58. At that point it would make more sense IMO to just put in a detuned S58 than try to engineer another B58 variant.
It's going to be rough if the g87 with b58 isn't more powerful than the m2c detuned s55.
