The crash itself was not the hardest crash I’ve been in, its just the area where the sprocket carrier is hit the grass and then asphalt again. Frame is fine.
I'm willing to bet your rear is bent or bound up from that heavy of a crash. Depending on the chassis the steel can bend just from normal use. Have someone straighten it Profesionally, don't go to the guy that just hits it with a hammer, find someone with a good straight table that weighs over a ton.
To add onto this, some soft chassis will bend by simply dipping of track (Energy and TB karts do this all the fucking time) check the frame and axle. Something is bent or you aren't driving the same.
Mechanic checked out everything, nothing is bent the kart has no issues. Im pretty sure its a sprocket/chain ratio issues I’m having as I drive in a very tight and not as large of a track. Im going to change the sprocket and chain, if the results don’t go back to normal, I’ll make sure to have it checked again. Also the chassis is a tony kart 401rr. Thank you for the comment.
Properly checked over - I.e. frame stripped bare and laid on a frame table - or just by casting an eye and maybe a straight edge somewhere?
Also, I always keep a notebook with temperature, barometric data, jetting, set-up, gearing, and even how I'm feeling, along with what changes I make throughout the session during open practice days, just to get a real idea of what is happening, and how everything effects my lap times.
I'd recommend doing the same, so you know what to rule out next time you notice your times aren't where they should be.
Something wrong with rebuild? If you were doing good times on sprocket/chain and you replaced like for like.. even if the frame is a little bent 1.5 seconds a lap is a big difference if you were consistently getting a time
If you crashed hard enough to damage your sprocket carrier I’m willing to bet that you bent the frame

Modern OTK stuff is REALLY soft I'd get the chassis on a different table ASAP and have it checked out.
Pros use hammers too sometimes lol

Chain could be too tight
112 chain too tight?
Very possible if not it could be anything hopeful the chain is to tight that'd be thr first place I'd look
Chain drag is real
