Ford Performance Tune

Well my local dealer: “you need to go to a ford Motorsport dealer. We don’t do that”. Fair enough, I trust you guys the least lol
another dealer: it’s back ordered for a month or two and you HAVE to buy it from us. You cant buy the exact same part from a website. Still no number for what it will be. I will hear Monday supposedly.
last dealer: still waiting to hear but they asked me if I needed them to get the part or if I could get it. This is actually the dealer a buddy of mine recommended due to their service. So this seems like the most likely dealer to help me.
if this all fails or pricing is absurd, I’ll just go Zfg. We shall see. But I foresee this being a common issue among dealers.

I installed the FP tune today, and I'm a fan. The shifts are smoother, and the car feels quicker, increasing the fun factor of driving the ST. You can definitely feel the power at higher RPMs, as described. This is my first tune ever on any vehicle, and I'm a believer. Recommend it to anyone leery of other tunes. Although, I'm looking forward to a ZFG tune down the road. For now, the FP tune will more than suffice.

Okay that’s what it’s called! I was talking to my friend about it that it says a ford dealer or a special tech. I am not familiar at all with a red seal tech. So I see that is an option or someone certified by the ASE. Do I just have to call local shops to find someone that meets that criteria? Like I’m guessing if I call a local tuning auto focused shop they may have an idea.
I hadn't read of anyone doing this yet and I know that Ford wants you to have their FP Dealers install the tune. I've probably just missed where someone has done it. This shouldn't be any more difficult than the Tunes most of us are used to installing. I'd like to read about someone doing so and their experience.
