I initially thought that'd be the case too, but so many factors affect ET/trap its tough to isolate just one aspect like wheel weight when significant aero changes were made to the front (and lesser extent rear) of the LCI. Would agree if just switching out the 765M for the 892M like some are doing in the pre-LCI, one would hope to see performance gains (assuming the aero drag of the 892 design isn't worse than the 765).
Here's a comparison of my 2020's quickest vs the LCI's. Will be tough in real world to get all variables equal (the DA was better for LCI but Octane was worse), but at least gives an idea.
