E85/off-road long tubes cold start

[ero 5.0]

So lately its been in the upper 30's here in the early mornings. Anyone else have a major issue starting their car with this setup in cold weather? It takes like 30 secs and like 4+ attempts to get it to start followed by massive backfire lol. Seems like a lot of strain on the car. Not a big deal, just curious.:shrug:

Contact lund. Ive had multiple e85 cars in colder weather then that kick right over. He can adjust that. My daily driver sti runs on e85 and kicks right over as have my past other 3 sti dailies. My gt500 id start up during the winter on e85 to just cycle the oil around. No issues. My 04 cobra had no issues on it either.

E85 is known for cold start issues, especially when the temps drop. I'm sure lund can richen the startup and get it to fire faster.
