Default Where should I go for Track Key?

As the title says, I'm looking for a place to go for a Track Key purchase and install. I have a 2014 6MT GT built after July 1, 2013. I have called three Ford dealerships and have received the following info from each:

Abilene (where my car is currently stored as I'm overseas)
They've never done a track key for a GT and said they wouldn't install a Track Key if I did not purchase it through them. I have found the Track Key online for $370 and would like to just purchase it there and bring it in for the scheduled install.

San Angelo
They've never done a track key and were unsure of how it was done. Also quoted two hours of labor for install.

Greenville (where I will be when I'm back state side)
I do not want to use them because they are charging $350 labor! I wouldn't think it would take that long to cut a key and program an ECU!

So...from experience, have any of you had the Track Key installed? Where did you get it and how much did it cost for installation? Anywhere in the DFW area will be fine because I will be on leave for a month and am willing to travel if the price is good.

Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

I got my Track key installed at Grapevine Ford no issues. They will only charge you an hour for labor.

I would just go with a good tune from AED or Lund.

I skipped the track key on my boss. If you are worried about warranty issues then go trackey, if you want an actual performance boost, go with AED or Lund

agreed. The track key is ok but its nothing compared to an actual tune. I have done both and tune by someone else is way more aggressive.
