I'm pretty sure that is to set the base timing.

I know our cars aren't much alike but my car is a bitch to start in the cold. When it's below freezing I just have to hope it fires and I do have to keep on the gas for a bit until it idles on its own. This was even before I had bigger injectors and cams and it's no different after.
