car wont start for the first 5 minutes.

two days this week my car would not start for the first 5 minutes in the morning. the car would turn over just failed to start. after trying a few times. seems like its flooded then wait five minutes it would start and run fine the rest of the day. what would cause this? is something ready to fail. it seems like its not getting fuel or air because it does turn over just doesnt stay running. also when i put my scanner on it they only thing that seemed wrong was battery voltage was 11.8 no trouble codes what so ever. the mods to my car are listed below.
