Lund Racing knows these engines well. Has been used very successfully by several forum members here, and is recommended by Ford Performance. I haven't personally done their ghost idle, but I recall it was one of the services they offered. Contact information is on their website. https://www.lundracing.com/.

I have it from Lund, but I don't use it. When I first flashed with it (winter/cold weather) it wouldn't live at idle. Apparently there's some differences in the factory mustang vs the crate motors. Jon mentioned that it works fine with the crate motor and the boss intake though. I asked if Jon could spend some time (at my expense) and see if he could get it sorted out but the basic response was no, it's a novelty.
When it was running at idle though I was a little concerned about how violent it was and clearance issues. Something to consider if you have side pipes. That's a lot of weight hanging on the headers.
What is a 'Ghost Idle' Tune?
