Default dyna with power commander hard to start sometimes

I have an 07 streetbob with a power commander , vance and hines exhaust and high flow filter. Since i installed the power commander the bike became hard to start. Im running stock HD spark plugs. Iv tried after market high quality spark plugs and this did make a difference, the bike started very easily. Being a die hard harley guy i put the stock plugs back in and it became hard to start again. Iv read where you turn the key and hit the starter at the same time when running the power commander and it does start easier doing this ,but with the after market plugs it sure was easier to start. Anyone else come up with a better solution

Hit the start button as soon as you turn the run switch. Don't wait for the fuel pump to stop running. My bike fires right up this way. If I wait for the fuel pump to finish it's harder to start.

I give mine a second to prime but hit start before the fuel pump kicks off and it starts easy.
