Fixer up-per
So as i have been researching and saving cash for repairs, my truck doesn't like to start after i have warmed it to operating temps. I have come to the UNOFFICIAL conclusion, I have either bad injectors, FICM, or high pressure oil leak. Or, i have all three

Agree with others that you probably have a HPO leak.

Yea me neither. He wants people to ship trucks to him, good business idea, but i like to talk face to face with MY mechanic. But to answer your question RideDiesel88, Its been SLOWLY getting worse. The starts are harder and harder unless i have her plugged in, in this colder weather especially. Even if i warm her up before i take off its still rough until i get into er a little bit. I have an SCT tuner using canned tunes, but until i give er more throttle she runs like a bag of poop. So its injectors, ficm, and hpol. Maybe one, maybe two, maybe a combo of all 3?

SGII with 6.0l program will cover more than you can think of. Then i got a fuel pressure guage, trans temp and boost psi gauge. SGII doesnt read fuel press or EGTs. Im looking into coolant psi gauge to tap into coolant filter and oil psi to tap into filter housing or somethin. My point is, you cant have too many gauges.

My bet is on the injectors being sluggish.
Get some Archoil 2300 and run for 5000 miles then use the Archoil 9100 in the future if the 2300 clears up or helps the problem you are encountering.
You should see a diffence in a short time when running the 2300 if it is the injectors.
