Having some issues with it especially noticing longer cranking time to get the engine to lite off . I know wiring is correct so that's not the issue

I am running this MSD Capacitor as per the wiring instructions ...

https://www.msdperformance.com/products/accessories/installation_accessories/parts/8830

This box has a Green LED that illuminates once the coil is receiving power . Now I'm noticing a longer cranking interval , also looking at the box during starting it takes maybe 5 sec or more cranking until the LED illuminates

I do have a battery disconnect that is always turned off whenever I'm not near the Camaro . Could it be the noise cap needs to store up 12v power before it will power the ign box ???

Is this normal or should I do more troubleshooting or call MSD and talk to them ??
