This may jsut eb an illusion since during cold start there are extra IAC counts added in that, with the throttle follower, make the car 'feel' faster and more responsive on tip in. You may also have issues with closed loop. One thing that i remember was teh stock calibration for my 8063 was really rich so that probably also helps the car to feel faster. Its also a good idea to take it easy on a cold engine. Not good for the motor to abuse it while its still cold.
