Default bogging when cold?

Ive only had my car for about 2 months but I know how to shift and everything.

Recently, i noticed when I first get in my car in the morning and go to take off it will bog bad!! Like i know its cold so ill rev a little higher, like 2k, and slowly release the clutch. then the cars rpms just drop to like 400 and its wanting to stall. It will only do this in 1st gear for like 1 min until it gets warmed up. Am I just not giving it enough gas or what? Im not sure if this has been doing it for the whole time or just when I got my straight pipes, (no cats or mufflers). It seems like it may be getting worse but im not sure. Today was bad!! I couldnt go cause the car was like dieing so i pushed in the clutch and pulled over. I gave it a rev then it bogged very little when I tried to go. It will be fine for the rest of the day until tomorrow morning.

thanks.

Spray some injector cleaner into the engine while it's running.This will help clean off the carbon from the backs of the intake valves and improve cold throttle response.
Like,you know.

If this was happening to my 5.0 89 GT I would
immediately suspect the MAF being dirty.
Bad running for 10 minutes, works and starts
good all the rest of the day.

I also noticed that sometimes when I go to start it, it wants to die for like 5 seconds then the revs will go up. didnt do that this morning but it did do it last night.

well today it rained heavy!! my dad told me it was carbon build up in the distributor and we cleaned it. Seemed to do the trick but i got home from work, and when i went back out about 15 min later it wouldnt start. I tried to start it and it just cranked. then i tired again pushing the gas. nothing. then third time and it started right up. It starts just fine now.

I would look at the ignition components, and change the fuel filter, run some injector cleaner through your next tank of car and clean out the thorttle body.

My car does bog a little in first gear when its cold like winter time cold, even after I let it idle for a few minutes. I dont understand why you are revving the car before you let the clutch out. Itsa give and take motion, you press the gas as you release the clutch, no revving is needed.
