It probably is running rich when its cold. Tuning can usually fix it unless you have 850 primaries which you can never get perfect.

Peoples definition of idling fine varies. No one said it can't be done and hell I've had 1300's in my primaries before and drove it around for a few days. Just because it idles and drives, doesn't mean its fine. Some people actually care about fuel efficiency, smoothness, and not smelling like gas every time you come out of your car. And there's other issues like carboning up your combustion chamber, fouling your plugs quicker etc. that comes with running rich where you don't need to run rich. Also, if your not using a PowerFC, you don't have an ms floor like the PowerFC does so that gives you more room to lean it out.
