Default Rough idle after installing PC V

I have a 2008 FLHT and installed Rush slipons and Arlen Ness Big Sucker air filter kit. Installed the PC and started bike. Found when cold that the bike will begin to run very rough, like its dropping a cylinder. Crack the throttle a couple times and clears up. Only does it on cold starts. Im guessing I just dont have the right map downloaded? Just wondering if anyone else has had the problem...

Where did the PC come from? Without hearing it I'm guessing, but it's possible it's a little richer may be somewhat normal. I mean if it's dead missing on a cylinder or blowing smoke then somethings up. If you're comparing it to the "honda" idle of a stock harley before the PC, it probably will be different. Mine was for sure when I had the stock cams and the PCIII. I really don't like the stock cams at all. I had a host of startup issues before the cam swap. Good luck with it.
