That would be the most obvious place to look first. Drain nearly a quart out and then try your car out. If it's still off, check your ignition timing.

vtech is a telephone


the "H" that you see on the bottom half of the valve cover isnt there to get tacked on after the last letter of vtec. It stands for "honda"

The specified amount of gear oil for a gsr m/t is 2.2 qts if you put 3qts its too much but I doubt that's what's causing the loss of power. I would check the fuel pressure if you have a fuel pressure guage and also the ignition timing.

Did you reset your ECU after the tune up?
