I will confirm that I can feel this. I used to start in stock then switch it after warming up. After the new updates I just leave it in 80E all the time. I still don't drive it hard until it warms up, but I can definitely tell all the power isn't there when it's cold.

I am waiting a while again for Jody to figure out new tunes for my set up. I was running pretty good for a while and sent my chip in for updates. That time the updates was not very good even dangerous so I sent it back again and these tunes work and my truck runs OK but if I get on it in stock setting now I smoke every thing out, the higher tunes are fast but smokes way to much. He did say he didn't have much luck with my injectors.
