6 psi on my 3.8 mustang netted me between 225 and 240 depending on the tune and the fuel. So I don't see how 7psi gets you to 400
Yeah, you're comparing one of the worst v6s to hop up to one of the best ones to hop up. A stock v6/6spd accord coupe of that generation traps about 100mph in a 1/4 mile. Or just as fast as a 220-240whp mustang, and that's BEFORE you add boost.

Somewhat related (but not really), back in the day my friend had a V6 Mustang and I had a mint green, 92 Accord. Naturally we raced a few times and, to his embarrassment, I would destroy him each and every time. Those 3.8's sound terrible too, bleh.
As for the car in question, I too would like to see that engine in the back of a Fit, Civic, or CRX.
