I found the opposite for initial cold starts in cold weather (30* and below). The stock cranking VE table seems to add too much fuel and the airflow startup tables do not have enough airflow. My .02

I use HPT, but have a look at your B3605 table. With your cam you're probably idling at 50 MAP, or so. On a stock table, you're commanding 12.5+ afr at open loop start-up there. Too rich. Try setting the afr to 13.8 - or just copy the 20-40 MAP columns over to the 50-70 MAP columns. Also, the engine may be flooded due to the cold start/short running time you did. Hold the accelerator to the floor when you start. That may help get it running, and the new table values should help from there.

Hope this helps.

E-mail me your EFIlive file and I can take a look. Send a datalog of a real cold start as well.
