Default Starting problems

First, I'd like to say that this has just started in the last few weeks. I was out of town and came back and it started just as I'm about to describe.

I try to start it, it usually starts almost immediately. The first time, it took a 4-5 seconsd longer, meaning the started went through extra revolutions to start the vehicle. When it did start, it acted as if it just caught.

Now, I crank it for up to 10 seconds, nothing. I turn the key off and try again, it takes about 4-5 seconds, then catches.

Everything runs fine after it starts.

Now, it started this before I had some maintenance work done. The work was oil change, new belts, and a new fuel filter. It continued to show these symptoms. Then, I placed a cold-air box over my Blackwing and cut a hole in my baffle. It continues.

Any suggestions?
