I'l still messing with it. at one time i had set the after start timing to 0 and it would throw an ignition timing out of range code or somethings like that but it was a lot quieter.. The idle rpm also went up. at the time i was not messing with the idle speed tables.
I found these for the STI's, just a word of warning from one of the experienced techies:

I believe this table serves more than just catalyst warmup as observed with our project 07 STi with Mahle (low silicone) drop in pistons. After start, the engine is quiet below +5 degrees then the pistons begin the Hawaian fire dance beat which intensifies to +16 degrees until the engine reaches operating temps. Too much timing during warmup will cause scuffing, but E fuels may react differently.
