I have an Original Firestar that is a sturdier machine than the Firefly. I was told by Dennis Souder not to use any engine larger than a 40hp Rotax 447. I'm a 200 lb guy and that 447 shoots me up in the air with no problem. It has plenty of power. A 503 would be too much power and use more fuel. I'm sure the 447 is all the Firefly can handle. A 503 would also make the Firefly an overweight ultralight.
