You seem knowledgeable about your cars to be asking questions like this.

400 hp? I would sell the Accord and get a car that is meant for that performance, like a Mustang GT.

This motor was really not intended to be screwed with, I would suggest finding a slightly more useable platform.

This. They even had cast manifolds and cats basically on the head on the previous gen V6. If you want a powerful build, sell the car, buy an 07 6-6, have Paul in NVA do the j36 build for the difference you will get for selling the 08, slap a blower on it and have fun with a somewhat reliable 400 hp.

Like others have said, there's not much you can do to a Accord to gain performance.

It's just not a performance oriented car.

BTW I have a Intake on my 08 Accord V6, that supposedly added 10whp. Not sure if correct or not.

It does sound nice.
