Increased Engine Cranking time after MT install?

I've noticed that the engine is required to crank longer before starting, since installing my LT10. Is this common?

Thanks,
Buzz

yea, it doesnt engage the trailling coils during cranking. Which means that if your engine has less than perfect comp. itll take a bit longer to start.

mine takes a bit too, seems to be normal for a lot of microtech users. It could also have something to do with the idle air control not being controlled by microtech.

Well, I have everything blocked off... And it sucks..I noticed that it only happens when the car is off for a long time. Once I crank it, everyother time after that it cranks like normal.

Takes awhile to setup your crank parameters. I messed with my water temp correction map (I think... kinda forgot which map), and after a couple days messing with it, I got my car to start after turning over once or twice. BTW, I'm in SoCal, so weather doesn't change much in this area from season to season.
