Default Hard starts... LS swap in EK

Hey guys,

Lately I've been having issues with starting my car. It only happens once in a while, and only when the car has sat for a long period of time, like overnight, or after I get off work. Normally the car turns over in 2-3 cranks, but lately when it's been sitting, it's been taking 6-8+ cranks to turn over. The car does start, and runs great. No issues once it's started. In the last couple weeks, it has been warmer outside than usual.

Here is the low down on my car:
JDM B18b swapped into my EK sedan
Motor has 105,000 kms on it
Replaced the battery about 2 1/2 years ago (Interstate)
Converted to ODB1 and running Hondata S100
Stage 2 cams, intake, header, exhaust, etc etc.

This issue has started after I had my cams replaced (couple weeks ago), I also did the OBD1 swap and Hondata at this time as well. Car was tuned properly by my shop, and the car runs awesome.

I just don't want to leave for work one morning and my car won't start. I hate being stranded, and I'm a huge stickler for preventative maintenance.

Any ideas? Or am I just being too ****??
