Default Cold start issue, 1996 corvette LT1

My 1996 Corvette, with LT1, cold start fires off then stumbles, which I can catch with throttle feathering for a few seconds then all is well. Warm start is still like turning on an electric light, right now. Any Ideas? I'd like to return it to starting instantly, cold or warm.

100% stock ? Starting must be broken down into maybe 3 steps:

First - cold start
Second - if start (>400 rpm) transistion
Third - idle RPM etc.
