Default Custom setting on Amana AMV8
I need to set a few custom setting on my furnace.
First is picking a Ramping profile ( I have 4 choices)
second is picking a Heat off delay
3rd is the blow fan adjustment


All can be found on page 26-28 of the following document.

On the ramping I would use profile D
Heat off leave where it is or the 150 sec
Leave the blower timing set at factory settings

I'd want an IAQ thermostat controlling the blower speed in cooling mode.

Not the same. Nor as good. It can over cool to dehumidify. But it can't slow the blower.

The IAQ can slow the blower in the middle of a cooling cycle if the humidity becomes high. And then let it return to full speed after the humidity is back down.
Also. By letting an IAQ stat control the blower. On those days where the temp is high, but the humidity in the house is staying normal/low. When the IAQ turns on the A/C, it will let the blower go to full speed right a way. Instead of wasting time at a low speed to dehumidify when the house doesn't need additional dehumidification.

Its a better thermostat.

D is a good ramp profile for humidity concerns. But lowers efficiency.
Blower off delay. Would be dependent, on the temp rise across the heat exchanger.
A high temp rise, needs a longer off delay. A low temp rise should have a short off delay.

Really. To be within specs I need to be between 25-55 temp raise.

Oooops. Must still be thinking of the unit I just worked on.
