I have the latest flash and still no difference in the start up. Even when its not that cold.
Question: Do they have to remove the head gaskets (and replace) to get to the fuel injectors?

Do your injectors buzz when you shut it down? If it still runs rough, then they're supposed to replace the injectors on the misfiring cylinders.
As far as injector replacement, they're right under the valve covers, so head gasket replacement is not required.

Thats good to know because I wouldnt want to buy another set of studs and hypermax gasket.
Is it easy to take the valve covers off?

Relative to anything else on the engine it is. Relative to the valve covers on a 1970 F100, it's a real PITA.
