My first track experience

Post the entire timeslip- 60', 330', 1/8 mile ET and MPH, 1000' ET and MPH, and 1/4 mile ET and MPH.
Something is definitely very, very wrong now if you're crate engine is advertised at 452 and you're running high 14s with 2.2 second 60's. You're engine is not making 452 HP with that kind of 60' and 1/4 mile ET, unless you were towing a 21' boat or something. Post the whole slip and we'll try to help you out.

Your 60' times are close to correct for a car running a high 14 second times, although 2.4 is really really bad.
I really want to see the whole slip ESPECIALLY the 1/4 mile ET and MPH.

Like I said I am really new to this. Im not sure if I am completely set up right. I bought the car in May and the motor had probably 1000 miles on it but looking at how some of the stuff was put together im not to sure this guy completely knew what he was doing. I probably need to take it in and have someone tune it up and then see what I can do. That is why I posted it here because I thought for sure I would be quicker then that. I will let you guys know what comes of it. But like I said before it is made for the street and I love the car just need to get it dialed in.

This is the nice thing about having drag strips. You can test what these companies claim your vehicle has. You should take it somewhere else to a dyno to have it tested just to see exactly what it's making.
Just out of curiousity, do you have any pics of the engine?
#16
I will take some pics today and post them. Like I said I love everything about this car was just suprised at the times. The car itself is in excellent shape looks very similar to the one in the photo at the top. Thanks for all the input. If I was having an issue internally where do you guys think it would be with that kind of power loss. Also I have AC was wondering if there was any power loss just from it being in the system but not running?

AC only effects engine power when engaged and when it does, it usually only drops it by up to 10hp, enough to take a tenth or two off of the 1/4 (maybe), but it's not that large of a drop. I'm thinking that there isn't really anything "wrong" with the engine, but to be sure you can look for leaks, check the spark plugs to see if the engine's running lean or rich, and make sure the exhaust coming out is clear.
