Should I increase the MM size and how much?
Actually, I'd say you are almost dead on if you see no more than about 1-1.5 mph difference between your GPS and the Gryphon. But, to get them to agree, you need to decrease your TS, not increase it. Assuming the difference you see is at 70 mph, you have a 1.4-2% error. Try reducing your TS to 2524mm.

And remember, the dash speedo is always going to read a bit faster than you're traveling, because Ford builds them that way.
