I disagree with some of these statements. My car threw down 384 on a mustang dyno (loading dyno), so I'm pretty sure I'm in the 400's on the dynojet now and just a few pounds shy of solid 400s. I drive my car every day and I love it.

1. You have to keep an eye on stuff yes, but it's a small price to pay for the fun and power. Remember what uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great responsibility" but it's worth it, ask Spiderman haha.

2. The 5th gen preludes and I think pretty much all H22's demanded premium fuel from the factory, so being weary of what gas you use is really a non-issue if you were complying with factory instructions to begin with. As long as you are properly tuned, all that matters is that you run premium pump fuel, which you should be running in any serious performance car anyways.

3. On a properly built and tuned turbo car, overheating is not an issue. My car doesn't overheat at ALL. In fact while tuning it was running just as cool as stock and I have a stock radiator. IMO that's a myth.

4. Yeah something can go wrong, but if you properly build and tune, the chances of something going wrong are much much lower. The mere vague possibility of "something going wrong" shouldn't be a deterrent from your goals and dreams. A very good friend of mine has practically the same spec mods done to his Integra and he's making similar power. It's his only car so it's his daily driver and he has 14,000 miles on the car and he's upping the boost because it's running so well.

All that being said, you definitely have to take careful steps to make sure you do it right the first time or else you will end up in a world of hurt. Ask me how I know. But it is totally realistic and possible to have a 400+whp Prelude that you can drive daily. The key is quality workmanship and proper tuning.
