Hard Cold Startup...

For the past couple of mornings when I have gone out to start my truck, it seems as if it is taking about twice as long as normal to turn over and start. When it was warmer out, it would crank over and start within about a second, but now for the past couple of days it will crank over for about a little more than 2 seconds before it starts. The truck runs perfectly fine, and starts fine when it is warm also. Is this something that I should be worried about, and is anyone else experiencing this problem? I have the superchips tuner installed, and that is the only performance mod that I have done. Could that be affecting it? The truck isn't running bad or anything, just wondering if maybe a little bit longer crank over on cold startup is normal with these trucks, maybe to build oil pressure or something. Let me know, thanks in advance.

I think it's completely normal...it could be a computer thing, allowing a little more oil to get pumped through before it starts up...I'm expecting a little harder starts starting pretty soon here in CO....
