Strange Cold Starts, BMS Intake?

I noticed that for the second time I got a strange/rough cold start. The revs start normal then drop below 1k (it feels like the car is getting bogged down) and rev back to normal after a second or two. This happened to me for the first time exactly a week ago and I find it strange that it doesn't happen consistently.

My only mods are the BMS Intake and BMS Stage 1 Tune, pretty easy setup and never had a CEL. I have a feeling the intake might be the culprit, the Stage1 may not be tuning out the intake which could make the car run lean. Also I'm told MAFs sensors are picky with intakes on our cars.

Has this happened anyone? Hoping to hear from others before I take the time to remove my intake, which I really prefer to keep in the car.

Thanks!
