3 seconds of cranking does not seem like anything to worry about.

If you have an AEM ECU, you will need to wait until the curcuit powers up before attempting to start the engine. That might be the issue but it is a normal condition of an AEM.
The Comptech/CT engineering kit uses a rising rate fuel pressure regulator that does not hold fuel line pressure once the pump is off. The best thing to do is to train your self to turn the ignition key to the #2 position count to 2 then start the car. This gives the fuel pump time to re-pressurize the fuel rail. If it has an AEM ECU count to 6 (the AEM ECU takes longer to turn the fuel pump on). Cheers, Shad

Turn your key a little til you can hear the fuel pump whine'n while its pressurizing your system.
When the whine stops. Turn the key a little more and your starter will engage and rotate your engine. Magically things make noise and stuff happens and then your engine starts.
Magic!

Takes a few weeks to get use to that pause in there. lol

where is a link to your Dyno results Trev?
I never posted any of that yet, plus I have a lot of install pics too to get up.
Got to find the time for all of that.
Thanks for the reminder dude.
Hope your rigs running nice for ya.
We are the new kids on the block with these used whipples!!! lol
I have now about 5000 miles on the newly build engine and have just changed to synthetic and installed an AIS, so maybe Its time for another dyno.
I do have everything for a basic high boost setup, but everytime I go to the garage to install it, I get tired and jump in the car and blast around....hehe
Enjoy and thanks
