Intermittent no start condition - Page 4

I have an intermittent no start condition on my 98 Pontiac Stocker, 350 with Accell Calmap ECU. Randomly, the car will crank but not start. It might start 10 times in a row then the 11th. time ....crank, no start. Let it sit for a few minutes(5-10)...and it fires right up.
Recently, had a battery go bad....replaced it. The only other change was to the fuel. At Martin, had to switch to Sunoco as VP was not available.
Because it is intermittent, I have not been able to determine if this condition is fuel or ignition related. It has an MSD Digital 7.
Happened yesterday in the staging lanes at a test /tune.....waited about 5 minutes and it fired right up.

Anyone experience anything like this?

Thanks.
