Default 4.7 horsepower at rear wheels

I can't find it anywhere, no dyno graphs or anything, all I can find is power rating of the motor being tested out of the truck with no driveline or anything. But what is the horsepower and torque at the rear wheels?

my dyno stock was 170, with a 4x4, the rt version is around 190 for a 2wd model, also my truck is a 2005, the newer dual plug 4.7 are around 250 or so to the wheels

Anyone have torque numbers?
I'm wondering what I'm actually at myself. Been debating moving to an F150 or keep waiting till this truck can't do it anymore. I tow enough to where this truck is struggling a bit. Kinda want to put gears in, but it's pretty expensive with two gearsets. Leaning towards the waiting and get a new truck. If the torque is there, I may consider the gears again.

By "rt version", are you referring to the 4.7L High Output (or HO)?

I want HO cams.....
I am afraid of what I might do if I pull apart the motor though....
And not worth it since my truck is starting to rust away. Sad really.
