Hi all, I'm new to the forum (hope you don't mind my pun) and have a couple questions regarding the "Gotts" Mod.
I just recieved my Gryphon (07 5.4) and have not yet installed it. I also plan to add the Gotts Mod. any reason I should do one prior to the other? I was going to install the Gryphon then the Gotts. Also, I've seen where some have advised to unhook the battery to install the Gotts so the PCM will recognize it faster. I am assuming this doesn't apply if i have the Gryphon since I'll be running a tune anyway? any advice appreciated! |

You can install the Gryphon before the Gotts Mod or the other way around. It really makes no difference. And, from what Bill has told me and from his description of testing with and without the snorkel, you need not disconnect the battery at all. The PCM really doesn't "learn" anything with this modification. The O2 sensors handle all the adjustments for the increased airflow. Hope this makes sense. - Jack

It is a mod on the 4.6L and 5.4L gas engines that consists of replacing the stock fender snorkel that has an ID of ~2 inches with PVC that has a 3 inch ID.
Why? http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/conve...html#post36692, this is for a 4.6L.

Thanks for the info Jack. Much appreciated. We had some storms when I was going to install the Gryphon so it's still not in yet.....but I should be able to find some time soon.
One other question for all while I'm at it: I have an 07 5.4 that is equipped to accept Flex Fuel. I've seen where there have been a few people with the Flex Fuel engines having issues with adding mods, programmers, etc.. Is there anything I should be especially careful about or look for that differs from the other 5.4s? thanks for the help! |

So, to answer your question, I can't think of any special precautions you need to take. There've been many posts on using E85 in this forum though, and most of them have been negative, due to the reduced gas mileage. - Jack |
