I would think the additional wire etc would add resistance and change the reading. Does it come with a modified spec for the GP's?

No they work great. I don't have that one but I use an end from an engine harness in both the Super duty and OBS flavors. They don't add any appreciable resistance.

Ford sells just the pigtails, but you either need the part number, or have a good Ford dealership that will find the number for you. Most can't or won't look it up.
I also have a supplier for the pig tails, but they are always out of stock on them, and cost around $15 for OBS, $20 for SD.
