Default Im I going crazy?

I just need to know if this is normal, and if not what to do?

I just recently put a C&L CAI and 93 tune on my car. Car runs great and everything the problem is the start up. I put the key in and it takes like 2 - 3 seconds for the car to crank up. It seems to take longer to start when it was stock. Is that normal?

get the battery checked and alt
a low amp battery could take more time to start the car
notdead but low
and how long has it been since your last oil change

Nope. My car cranks right up. I see you have a VMP tune, call Justin and ask him what might be wrong.

the reason I say this is my other car always had a low battery for a long time and I had to do some stuff to start it
a new battery made it start right up
a tune could affect it but I think we'd hear more about people with the problem
