Sounds good to me. :happy-dancing:

Would this need to be noted on a Gryphon order form?

You could... Always nice to know what's on the truck. I don't think it's absolutely necessary, though.

However, this mod DOES NOT AFFECT the Mass Airflow Sensor and doesn't significantly change AFR like a CAI does. The MAF sensor still accurately reflects the airflow into the engine and the computer handles everything from there.

Thank you Bill - That's good to know. I sort of thought the same thing, but I remembered some posts over on f150online that recommended disconnecting the battery, so, I did it too.

They've asked me to post this mod over there in their "how to" forum and I will, after cleaning it up a bit. I'll add this bit of information from you too.

Now that is funny. :confused: I am the one who originally posted this mod over there and it caused so much controversy and fighting that I had to ask RockPick to delete the whole thread for the good of the site. :sigh:

:readthis:
EDIT to add: I am referring only to my specific variation of this type of mod for the 5.4L 3valve motor which I designed and tested in Sept. 2005. That is when I posted about it and got jumped by all the cheerleaders for the various vendors and users of commercial CAIs.

Fate is fickle and cruel. :(

It is indeed, fickle, kd4crs. I would have been happy to credit your input there too, like I tried to do here, but I don't know if you used the same screen name (I suppose I COULD have searched, but oh, well). Actually, I was in a hurry to get the post up because Rockpick threatened to change my user title to: "I wear a thong" if I didn't. (I'm not kidding)! :o

That's a funny forum though. It seems to attract a few souls who have nothing better to do than to put down anybody and anything. I'm beginning to see it again over "Use the search button!" on FNGs. Too bad, there's some good, knowledgeable people on it and we would benefit if the less tolerant would just remain quiet.

I used the same screen name. I would appreciate it if you could at least give me credit for the variation that I contributed. Thanks.

Done, David -

If you'll go to this thread, in the permanent "How To" forum of f150online, you'll see I've provided a link to the FAQ post here, and, you'll notice I "chided" the members there for not being more receptive to you. It's post #4 in the thread right now and should not get lost with the passage of time like the more ephemeral threads.

Thank you very much, Jack. :2thumbs: I do appreciate it.
