1989 Trans Am GTA, 350 V8 TPI.
Car starts fine on cold starts but after it warms to normal operating temps and is shut off, it does not crank back up immediatley. The engine turns over fine but usually have to wait about 5 minutes before it will actually crank up. Starter engages with no problems.

What do you mean by crank up? Do you mean start?
If it is cranking ok, when it doesnt start, did you check to see if you had fuel pressure, spark, and injector pulse?
