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!

Hi Doubles -

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.

I have to ask....what's a "Gotts" mod?

[Longshot270]

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.

Gotcha. Just never heard of it before.
