Default LT1 starting issue

Hi all,
i'm I the only one that has this probleme
well when I bought my formula it use to start on the first turn really quick.
that was about 4years ago after about 6months or so after I had my formula it don't start like it use to sometimes it takes a couple of turns
when it cold it ussaly starts right up with a few cranks
but once it warms up it takes a few tries
I was thinking about getting the excell 300 maybe that would help.
my opti has about 27000 miles and new wires& I just put plugs in last month.
any clues?
thanks all...

No I have not, I need to get a gauge but I put a new pressure regulator when I rebuilt my motor. I had the same issue with the old pressure regulator.
I think it might be my ICM I might put on a excell 300..
