Car acts very strange when first started??

91 305 TPI 5speed. Stock internals. Paxton blower, ford 24#ers, blah blah.

Anyway, the car acts really funny when you first start it up in cold weather.
Speedometer doesnt work , and the car acts like it's in limp home mode. O2 sensor was replaced last year when I did the headers.

By the way, when the car warms up the problem goes away.
Any ideas??
thanksguys

your car may be having open loop problems. Check the coolant temp sensor
