Car wont start first shot on humid raining days. only on a cold start in the morning this happens.

I have a WOT BOX, you think that could be the problem or maybe the wiring? spark plugs?

2010 3v, edelbrock supercharger.

I don't think the SJB has much to do with the ECM and the way the engine runs.
I don't disagree, however if his WOT box is in that area..... mine is in that area

Yeah, didn't think about that. Seems weird that it only does it on cold start up and high humidity.

What about silicone spray? although its temporary it would tell me there a problem with the wires, no?

Could be due to low air density because of humidity. Having the colder plugs could contribute to this as well, seems normal. What's your intake system look like? aftermarket MAF? Smaller pulley? Was the car Dyno tuned?
Also what temperatures are you dealing with?
