The pumps do take a little more time to prime. This is not uncommon.

Does it hold pressure after you shut the car off, or does it quickly drop pressure? If it drops quickly, you may have an internal leak in the tank.

i have a walbro in my 96 impala and while it does take a split second longer than the ACdelco to fire after cranking, it runs alot better.

I have a fuel pressure gauge, and I turn the key to ON and wait until I see good pressure before trying to start the car (about 1-2 seconds). Works out much better than just going all the way to crank right off the bat. YMMV.

hnaskoct, you need to check the fuel pressure. If you don't have a gauge in the car, I believe there is a Schraeder valve on your fuel rail that you can connect to. On the LT-1, it is the back center. Not sure on an LS-1. Borrow a portable fuel pressure gauge and collect readings, then report back in this thread. I suggest you also watch how long it takes to build pressure from key on, engine off.
