Also if your MAF table is off in your idle area it will affect your startup. I'm not 100% sure on your year but on my car maf controls about everything. I don't think the VE table does diddly. Just backup for maf failure.
My startup is pretty decent, about 2 seconds to start. It used to be 5 to 10 seconds before I tune the idle area. Only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to get it to stay in open loop a little longer on startup. When it jumps to close loop too soon the computer starts pulling timing to get the idle under control. Makes it run just a little rough.
