The JRSC and any other aftermarket part will NEVER be warrantied under honda.

Your timing was originally set where before taking it to the dealer? Where is your setting now? The dealership will set the timing to stock. I would think they would set timing to the d16 specifications. Detonation = bye bye engine. Go find out where your timing is at. If it is at stock then figure out where the other noise is coming from before getting a compression check. So you were just boosting 10psi with the boost timing control and upgraded fuel pump? Boosting 10psi without at least water injection, fuel hacks, or a standalone results in serious detonation .

I floor it in 1st gear and it literally takes about 5 seconds to get to second. After second, theres no use in shifting because i cant get a far enough straightaway to get it past 5 or 6k rpms. If i shift before then, it begins to bog down.

ANOTHER THING is, the car is a LOT louder than it used to be (and i mean A LOT.)

i mean, i cant even make it up hills without flooring it in second now.
All common problems relating into a loose or slipping belt. It is also a problem associated with a jacked up blower that needs a rebuild.

Anyways, this is why i ask, "are you sure you are even boosting?" If so, where to? If you are in boost, then running really really rich will lead you to some serious bog issues. Please be specific as to where exactly the noise is coming from. Describe noise in more fine details.

Also, you should check to make sure your gas line cable is properly tensioned............but if you say you are boosting, then, this wouldnt be the problem. Check anyways.

Pull out your spark plugs to see what color they are.

PS: Go find out exactly what the honda technicians actually did.
