The reason your getting more power is cause your running a little richer fuel mixture while its still warming up. Is that what you really want? If your running rich all the time then your fuel economy will suffer. But if you must have this extra power all the time without playing with your cooling system there is a mod you can do electrically that will get you what you want without sacrificing the cooling system efficiency.
You can read about the mod here.
