Question 408 Cold Start backfire and hesitation?

Hey guys, what would cause backfire and hesitation when the engine is cold. Not enough fuel? I have the VE tuned pretty well with idle trims under 2%. Once the motor warms up, it never hesitates or backfires. But if I start it, and drive away, any throttle I give it will produce backfire and for the rpms to drop 100-300 rpms before catching up and taking off....

What will help this? Thanks

It doesn't have any problems starting up. When it's started and I try to take off, it hesitates, and bogs/backfires. I haven't messed with my open EQ at all. Should I be adding fuel to the colder temps? Is, would you start by adding 10%?

Also here is my RAF from -40 to 284
2.5210 2.4008 2.2808 2.0888 1.8906 1.6632 1.3733 1.3613 1.2066 1.1572 1.0617 1.0087 1.0087 1.0087 1.0475 1.0475
