So it appears the final number that Hyundai has released is 281hp for the 2.5T, which is quite respectable considering its on 87 octane recommended fuel.
That makes me think it has even more overhead available if tuned for 93 octane.
For example, the Ford Ranger 2.3T is rated for a similar 270hp on recommended 87 octane, but the factory will retune your vehicle for you (all under warranty) to 320hp just using maps optimized for 93 octane. That makes me think that the 2.5T should also likewise easily hit 320hp with a mild tune on 93 with plenty of safety margin.
