Yes you can run 6-7psi. Make sure you get an engine management system and have it tuned.

The auto tranny is going to kill your power.

My auto F23 was boosted for 3 years with very little problems. I dynoed it at 220hp. The only thing I had to be careful with was launching. The auto trans hates WOT from a dead stop.

I agree with precisionh23a, the auto is going to soak up power through the driveline loss and also limit your overall power (cause it will start to slip or whatnot with too much hp/ trq).

I would think about investing in a good trans cooler, heat is a tranny killer.

As also said above, make sure to get some decent fuel management and tuning.

Around the 200whp marker. Give or take a few.

A buddy of mine had the same set-up as yours and didn't listen to me about tuning his f-max kit. Well, he blew his motor and since I've rebuilt the motor for him and swapped to a 5spd tranny. Keep in mind, the 5spd swap in the 99 Accord is a B I T C H.

I don't think the 5spd swap was that bad. The wiring was a little tough, but overall pretty easy.
