Default 5.0 no idle cold and backfires. PLEAE HELP!

Ok guys I am fighting the same monster here. It wont idle at cod start have to start 4 or 5 times and keep working the throttle to get it to run. Once it does idle when I pop the throttle it backfires, and I can hear a slight miss. car runs rich as hell (eye watering rich) codes are all air bypass etc. thats all removed. I have put wires cap rotor. Cut out the ten pins and wired them straight. New TPS swapped in a good IAC. short ram air intake 2040 compucam and new o2 sensors. GUYS PLEASE ANY HELP IDEAS would be appreciated. computer maybe that my next idea.

I have it runs good once I can get it warm. I have also put new fuel regulator on. one other thing I can here it sucking air when I punch it too. it suck thru the air filter but its loud. like woooof woof it almost hesitates when i punch it. I have two TPS i cant get more than .05 out either.

injectors can make it run rich if they are staying open too long and they normally run a little richer on cold start till the engine warms up and the computer starts using data from the o2 sensors
