...but it sounds like the Tip-in enrichment (coolant temp) needs adjustment at the cooler temps as we didnt have an issue once it was warmed up.

Kyle you know how i feel about the Blow-thru.
your numbers are to low for something like that!
The blow thru is only for 600+hp
This is my theory, The maf is located way higher on the intercooler piping. Take into consideration your running a 3 inch.
The car isnt idleing high enough to get proper A/F mixture! because its not bringing in enough air.
By the time your maf see's air, to much fuel has been introduced!
Only thing that can solve this IMO is raising the idle to around 900rpm!

That's not true at all!! I've dealt with many blow-throughs...first be sure tubing sizes have been calibrated...
aside from that is sounds like a coolant-temp/tip-in issue...as that gets overlooked a lot. Also due to how tuning happens is often left to a best guess, as you only have so much time to tune a cold motor
best thing to do is cut the crap and get a real EM...the factory ECU is really only decent to about 450whp IMHO...beyond that you really can start to find drivability issues because you are beyond the refinement of the factory ECU. Hydra or AEM time!
If you are having some issues hit my buddy dom up on getadomtune.com (let him know I sent you).
he's been one of the forefront open ecu tuners and know's the ins and outs...

yea i get told that after i buy it haha im gonna have to bite the bullet and save for an aem might as well get it over with now plus josh is going to give me a great deal on one once i get money but i would like to have the car running decent until then so it doesnt stall in traffic and kill me
