A couple of questions 'bout my new car

Hey People!

Just bought a 1988 Camaro IROC 350 TPI (traded in my 3.1 V6) - what a difference an extra 2 cylinders makes!!

The car seems to be a lazy starter from cold, taking 5 seconds(ish) to fire - fires straight away when warm. Any ideas?

Also, it seems to have the stock HT leads - any suggestions on upgrades?

The car has K&N filters, has been "re-mapped", de-catted exhaust and upgraded adjustable suspension.

I'm a brand new member with limited knowledge, so thanks for your patience in advance!

The heads I'm looking at are the Trick Flow 23*. 1.6 roller rockers to go with it and I'm undecided on a cam. My budget is extremely tight, so after my LT1 intake swap, I'm saving for some SLP 1 3/4" headers.
