So if you are taking it in for service you either drive for 50 miles then take it in OR you tell em you just hooked the battery back up to drive it there. Ford will do anything to get out of honoring their warantee so under no uncertain terms do you tell them you had an aftermarket tune on the car. You unhooked the battery. Simple story and stick to it

To the best of my knowledge, the best price you can get (general public) is directly through Steeda and your username from this forum. It knocks off roughly 100 bucks and free shipping.
