Causes for hard starting

My LT1 takes a few turns to crank. I figure the causes are mostly ignition due to the fact it happens in all types of weather. What should I be looking at fixing? Already replaced my plugs and wires too. Coil Maybe?

Learn to live with it. These cars are known for it. Well thats what ive been told. I have a MSD coil and MSD 6AL ignition, and it still takes a few seconds to start.

sometimes an injector sticks partially open and leaks down fuel.
an easy way to check is to pull the fuel rail leave all the line attached and hit the key. just inspect the injectors and see if any leak.thought i'd mention it as it seems you've covered the likely ignition problems

Actually, mine has always been extremely quick starting. That is supposed to be one of the benefits of the optispark.
