14.45 with 12 sec combo... HELP

Just because other guys cars with the same combo runs in the low twelves doesn't mean yours will. I used to think that until I dumped a ton of money into my small block only to run a 13.4!

You may have mentioned this but were you shifting the car and if so at what RPM? Also did you spin? I agree with everyone else on the converter and intake. I went cheap on my converter years ago and it's coming back to bite me so now I am saving up for a dynamic converter.

I know it's a huge blow to take to see a slower number then you expected but in my opinion I would say you have a mid to low thirteen combo and there is nothing wrong with that on a street car at all, it's more then enough to beat the majority of rice burners and crap running around. Good luck and have fun with it!
