Steeda Tunes?
This is the biggest issue that I had with my Steeda tune. MY cold start idle is 1500rpm. It slows after about 20 seconds but by that time all of our neighbours are awake! We usually start the car with the garage closed to limit the noise.
TJ tried to get me some help but it seems that Matt is the only person that deals with the tunes. He doesn't even work in the same building as the tuners so nobody was ever understanding the issue. I have seen numerous articles about people toning down the cold start idle but Steeda doesn't know how to do it.

We have helped others with this concern through the same support we provided you.

We wrote you a tune that we have written hundreds of times (similar set-up to your car) and they have worked without issue.
For whatever reason, your car would not take the tune without the idle issue.
There may have be something within the car that we can’t “tune out” & identify.
The tune is as complete as we can make it.
There have been several data logs done and still could not resolve the issue.
James is one of the best in the industry & he could not figure it out:
Lead Tuner and Calibrator
James has over 15 years of experience professionally tuning Fords - mainly the Mustang, Focus, Fusion and F-series. He was previously employed by SCT and trained many of their top tuners! James takes pride in providing quality, conservative tunes that you will feel confident in loading onto your daily driver. Reliability while providing tremendous gains are at the core of our tuning values.

Gary, like previously mentioned, we could not figure it out with your car.
You may want to p.m. them just in case they have a tuner that can resolve it.
Not trying to dismiss this but other than a refund, there is nothing more we can do.

I have run both the 87 and 93 octane tunes with the Steeda CAI without issue. They both run good, with the 93 tune pulling harder. I have a manual transmission car, so there is no shifting problems. Are you running the CAI or just the tunes?
