Default New gears, what next

Just got 3.73's in my 93LX5.0SSP. What a difference in low end torque. I guess since this was an old police car, I still need to do some more modifications ie..tune up. Since getting the car 2 months ago, I have replaced exhaust with magna flow from the cats back, new headers, new plugs, 9mm FRP plug wires, MSD Distributor cap and rotor, FRP "C" spings. The car takes seems to be "cold natured" now when I start it, it starts fine then bogs down and cuts off, after several times starting it, it finally levels off and seems to get more in "time" once it gets warmed up. Any and all suggestions on how to fix it...timing I guess, and what to do next is greatly appreciated.

Thanks BigBad. Sounds like you have begun the undertaking yourself. You know mine didn't really have that cold natured problem until I started all the mod's, so I kind of expected it. Once warmed up, the car runs awesome. Yeah, I have priced the Cold-Air kits, and I was trying to put off getting one for awhile...empty pockets, I was trying to wait until I got a new upper and lower intake (BBK SSI) which comes with a 70mm TB, high flow fuel rails and a fuel regulator. I figured I would put a cold-air intake on it when I added all that stuff, may have to change my plans. I guess I also need to start planning on replacing the injectors when I put the new intakes on. Which then leads me to think about going ahead and putting a better cam in since I'll have it that far apart......gets aggravating, so much to do, so little money. What's shaking on your end?
