Question Loss of power when cold

I have an 2002 2500 with edge j/w attitude 100hp injectors air dog fuel system. When I am taking off out of my driveway its like my truck has a loss of power. After I drive maybe a mile or soo it returns back to normal. My fuel pressure and everything else is normal. I crack my injector lines to check them and everything is normal. I have a feeling its an electrical problem but I wanted to start here to see what ya would think it is. Please let me know soon so I can get it fixed. Thanks

yes ,you have a boost fooler as its built into your juice/atitude

unless you pull the codes, to give a start point your shooting in the dark, that being said theres pages and pages of complaints that complain of no power on start up until the engine gets warm...most times its a failed VP as indicated by a 0216 fault code

What is max boost pressure you running? If over 25 psi might be defueling.

I can feel the truck change as the cold engine protection switches off on my truck. There is a gently grade just a mile or so from my house as a go up it at 1/2 throttle if the truck is just hitting 140* I will hear / feel a surge of power come on with no change in throttle input on my part. I drive on setting 4x4 mostly and I use the turbo cool down and cold engine protection options.
