I understand the prinicipal behind it but on all my other LP lifts the engine actually starts in approx. 2 seconds of "crank" time but on this Vortec it takes more like 4-5 seconds of "crank" time. The entire ignition system is new and no vacuum leaks. I talked to the factory after the discussion here and was told that yes, the added delay in spark from the coil is designed in for the very reason you stated.
