If my math serves me right (I used 100 VE to make my numbers match the factory numbers) 8psi will make ~320 hp, 10 psi will make ~350 at 6000 rpm. Our engines are high compression and probably cant take much more. $600 worth of crap won't get you far lol.
Not to mention, as you mentioned, the biggest issue would be tuning the ECU to -handle- all of that, and not just throw it all out to begin with.

P.S. - Hahaha... the Honda quote cracked me up.
