I just got back from the Ford dealership that finished my install. Ended up costing me $150. I'm not thrilled about the cost but it's better than the initial $450 they quoted me at.the labor I paid was $85.00, but that included mounting the thing (that I did not want).
Just to sum up a few things I learned:
1) Make sure you buy your performance pack from an authorized dealer
2) A lot of dealerships don't want to do the installation unfortunately
3) I ended up doing most of the install myself, leaving only the final step of the installation. I was able to bring down their inflated labor costs this way.
4) Don't get fooled by their bs sales pitch of how they will need a few hours to "fully tune" and play with the calibration numbers. It's literally a plug and play process.
5) You don't need to swap the air filters if you don't want to. I chose not to because of the dusty environment I live in. I also double checked that just installing the tune would be covered by the warranty, Ford Performance said it is covered.
Again, thanks for the feedback and information. I hope that what I have learned will help someone else in their Ford Performance Tune journey
