Default Hard to start after stalling

Hi,
2007 Z06, Torquer cammed.
It starts fine normally. But today when driving I stalled. I immediately tried to restart(should I have waited a second?), however it was cranking but didn't start. Tried it again and this time gave it a bit of gas and it started.
I also have driven it warm, stopped to get gas, and it starts fine.

Thanks!

In HP Tuners there's an airflow table along with a multiplier table based on ECT (engine coolant temp). Given that it seems to start properly when cold, you probably just need the multiplier table tweaked a little bit.

It is a trial and error thing though so be prepared to spend some time with it.

Also look at cranking spark. The table is pretty regular up to @ 212 degrees. Then it is goofy. Something like 3 degrees up to a couple hundred rpms and then to -10. You can usually raise this a little. Try 1 or 2 degrees at a time and if it knocks while cranking back off.
