Cold Start Issues! Please Help!
Hey guys. I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, with a SS M90 kit (top swap), as well as a VS cam, headers, cold air intake and 2.5" cat-back. I've been trying to get it tuned up, but I'm still having issues. When I start my car in the morning (or after it's been sitting a while), it acts very strange. The RPM hunts a lot, and my wideband will go very lean at moments. I've also noticed my IAC values very high (around 250). When I start driving it, it wants to stall at low RPM. I noticed it the most when making sharp left turns. If I didn't keep my foot on the throttle, the RPM slowly drop, it would run very lean, and it would stall. Today, it did it while driving in a straight line. However, this time my car didn't respond to any throttle until I hit about 40-50%. The RPM wouldn't move. After about 2 minutes of running, it was completely fine. I'm wondering what I need to change? I've already raised the idle RPM, it hasn't helped. Is there any tables that relate to ECT/cold start that need to be adjusted for my cam?

It runs perfect in open loop during startup, but as soon as it goes into closed loop, it runs like crap for 2 minutes or so. After it's warm, it is completely fine. I don't know what to do. I also noticed that immediately after startup, my timing advance is very low for a few minutes (6-8 degrees or so). Is that normal?
Here's a copy of my tune.

I've had this on SSM90 top swap cars.
Easiest solution is extend the open loop cycle to 104*F or 40*C.
