Mike - thought you'd like to know this:

Started my GT up for the first time in a month, temps around 30, car idled @ 2000 rpm for 15-20 seconds before settling a bit lower and it was 35-40 seconds b4 it was 800 rpm (normal)

Mike -I also started mine today- about 30 degrees outside and RPM's up to 2000 and slowly to 1500 rpms for like 2 mins (only does that when real cold and has not been started in 1.5 months) then down to my set idle of 900 rpm (I preferred it to be set that way) once up to operating temp can rev the motor fine and no flooding feel at all

Thanks guys.....

The saga continues...
This morning, warmed her up good, and ran fantastic.....

Lunch, warmed her up, albeit a shorter time, ran fantastic.....

Left after work, short warm up, ran great.....

Took the boy to the mall for shoes, (don't go there...fricken 75 bucks for Nike 6.0's.....) Anyway, came out, car still very warm, hit the key, and get that deal where the car turns over like normal start, but stops grinding...hit key again, same.....Third time, she fires, but smells heavily of fuel....

Screw this, I talked extensively today with Shawn Ellis as SoCal tuning....I think I am taking her in Friday for the dyno tune......done screwing with it.......

Thanks again guys, appreciate the support.....

Mike
