Tunes for the winter

I have an early 2004 6.0 with the 03 stamped motor. (07/03). It has recently been "built and bulletproofed." The truck runs like a screamin ape when its warmed up but my problem is im having a much harder time starting it than i did stock. Before i had no trouble starting at 4℉ unplugged on the first try, now its a long crank to start. I think this might have something to do with tuning? Im currently running warren diesels hot street 190 tune. Stock i was running a diablo sport street tune. Im just wanting to know if anyone has suggestions or input on what tunes they run in winter.

Mods:
190/75 warren diesel injectors with spool valves
165gph air dog ii
Studs and stock gaskets
Diesel site HPOP
BPD ficm
BPD water pump
BPD big oil cooler
Sinister coolant filter
Sinister egr delete
4" turbo back with mbpr muffler
6.4 banjos and blue spring
Ccv reroute
new icp and ipr screen
Lots of other little things

Wanted to add this only is an issue when its cold (below 20 or so) not just like in the morning any day. Once its been started for the day, however, im good to go.
