Default worth it to go FI???

hey guys, long time visitor, first time posting. love the info.

i know it's been discussed, but is it really worth it to boost? I'll give up the $$$ if i'm convinced.
Alright, i was given a 2001 accord dx, YEP, the amazingly slow f23a5, as a gift from my bro a year back. car is very light however, no power locks/windows, etc.

43k miles, well-maintained as of today.

I was thinking that i can get the engine worked on, internals improved, and boost w/ a fmax or Drag kit.

I wanna run 12psi or higher, since the engine will be beefed up.
any clue how the numbers would look?. I was thinking i'd see around the 250fwhp range, which is sweet (only 50hp/a few psi from 300). labor for me is pretty cheap, as a friend is a Honda certified mechanic.

Question again, is it worth it??. Or should i use the 5k or so that i'm willing to spend for the extra bang for a down payment on a G35?

thanx guys.
