Default Starting sometimes

Hey all I am new to the forum and have found many use full topics with issues with my blazer. I have searched for my new problem and have not pin pointed the thread. So here it is, I have a 2001 4door 4x4 with 70,000 miles. Just bought it and have done a few mods including K&N induction, Flowmaster 40, and a handfull of other new parts including rebuilt transmission. My latest problem is that about 1 and 10 time I go to start my truck it will not start. Everything comes on with the key it just wount turn over. I have tried neutral and everything, I can cyle the key about 5 or6 times and then it will turn over and start. I dont know where to start looking could it be the starter? Any help?

ok check to make sure the battery cable at the starter is tight and that the solenoid on the strater isnt cracked!!! check all wires to make sure nuthing is just slightly broke..

Sounds like a failing ignition switch to me!

I checked att connections and everything is tight and not cracked. Is there any way to tell for sure that it is the ignition switch?
