When the car sits for a day or so, the engine cranks for a long time before starting. 5-6 seconds or so. When warm, it starts in a couple of revolutions, like < 2s.

I've looked at the fuel enrichment, timing tables, etc., and all seems reasonable. Mike has looked it over too. I'm using a FAST XFI, FAST eDIST, and FAST Crank Sensor Convertor (that emulates a crank trigger setup from the factory LS1 crank sensor). The engine will never start like a stock GM ECM, but it ought to start cold as quickly as hot, right?

Thoughts anyone?

it should start as well cold, but is usually one of the hardest things to get perfect for me. Add in the fact that you only get one shot at it each day, so it can take a while to get dialed in.

It's usually a balance of cranking fuel and iac position. I generally play with one thing at a time so I don't get lost.
