Car bogging when I first hit the gas

I took my car out for a spin today, it was 50*F out and I just couldn't wait..
I got out on to the rod, touched the gas pedal and it bogged down for about 2 seconds, then it smoothed out, did it again when I turned around in a driveway

Timing is at 6* BTDC

Sounds like the pumpshot. Not sure how much you can do about it. The airgap intake will make the pumpshot a moving target, so the volume and duration tend to change with the ambient air temp.
