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.

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. 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.


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.

I've usually done it for a minute. It's been posted that for this mod it's not really necessary though, unless you've done a bunch of other stuff at the same time.

I disconnected the battery for a few minutes after I did mine. But now I realize there was no point in doing so. There's really nothing new for the PCM to "relearn".

Txarsoncop - I really had to laugh when I saw your nice shiny CAI in your "camouflaged as a desert" engine bay! Kind of like wearing shorts with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.

But, the intake sure is purty!
