With the intake drawing air from under the hood the temperature stays some what consistent, I don't plan on having to rejet the carb from what I am seeing on the wide band O2. But it really runs like crap when its cold and I first start it.
I regularly start out colder and end up warmer than new England.
I am at 4400 feet above sea level.
This is why I do insanely over kill warm up mods then at the same time I am usually trying to do equally over kill cooling mods. There is a 125'F temperature differential between here the coldest winter nights and the hottest summer days.
