not sure if this is a good comparison or not but a older m3 can do 0-60 in 5.5sec and 1/4 in 14.6-8
a h22 swapped 4th gen accord, stick with basic bolt ons can do around high 14's. you can do the math for the acceleraton.
mind you that the h22 is heavier than a f22 so suspension or brake upgrades may be necessary.

The transmission for example: If all you did was sell your car and buy a comperable Accord with manual tranny you'd be able to do it for much less (you might even come out with more money rather than it costing you anything) than actually buying the parts and doing a swap.
If you want something faster, look at some different cars. Some stock Honda/Acura cars will outperform some Accords with 5K worth of mods.
