Car takes a few seconds too start... wtf

So ive recently completed numerous bolt ons to my L98.
SLP Runners
TPIS Base
Hooker Headers
Air Foil
Full MSD Ignition
EGR Delete
A.I.R Delete

Anyways, now my car takes a few seconds longer to start than before...
Im thinking of switching back to ac delco copper plugs vs these ngk 90* tip ones..

Any ideas of what may be causing the lack of wanting to start?

Can't get a socket on them with ac delcos. Bought them a few days back and went to swap them but couldnt... Had to return them.
