I think you guys are overthinking the cold start issues. If you have a tuning solution or other trick you can use to fatten up cold starts, there won't be much in the way of cold start issues. My own car, for example, when tuned on Cobb Accessport would take several cranks to get going and when it did finally start, would run like crap until the ECTs got to about 100 degrees. On the new software I use for tuning (Versatune), it has tables built in for cold start enrichment and I've not had an issue (more than one crank required to start) since.

Edit: Video for example:

What would you like to know?
