Default Stalling problem

I have an 89 5.0 with an automatic I just bought. The only thing I know for sure the motor has is the cobra intake and a/c eliminator kit. My question is in the morning when I go to leave it acts as if its carbureted or something. When I leave ifI punch it will spit and sputter and acts like its gonna die. It also vibrates like it has a bad miss till it warmsup. Now if i punch it and hold it and run it up till around 6,000 rpm then it clears up and runs fine. If anyone can give me any idea what might make it do this I would appreciate it. Thanks
