Would it be easier to have a cold start tune that you use to warm the car up then put your power tune in once the car is warm?

Wouldn't bother, a couple of seconds to start surly isn't that much of a issue?!?!

    In SA you don't need a fuel pump. The vacuum for the fuel system is created from the intake stroke.

ok so I got a really dumb question.. here goes haha

so e85 comes on boost harder and gives u more power everywhere, my question is at the drags are people getting better 60 footers compared to when they had their 98 tunes in?

If your car is setup I definitely would have to say yes I am not on e85 yet but there are guys getting killer half track results and carrying that to the finish line

My 60 footers improved as well

The factory software has many 'cold start' tables that can be accessed with the SCT software. But for these 'cold start' tables to work as ford engineered them too, some of the simple tables need to be calibrated right.

The last e85 tuned car I logged had a very lean Long Term Fuel Trim. As a result during an open loop cold start the mixture was quite lean and no doubt was adding to the cranking issues.

ratter makes a good point in that its never going to be as easy to start as 98 when its cold.....but spend some time getting the calibration right in the non WOT areas and the issues are reduced.

Switched back to 98 last week in preparation for the family trip to Surfers, already missing my E85 tune.

Got 550klms out of a full tank though.
