Don't even ask what your rwhp might be...you won't like the answer.

The Superchips programmer did not work for my truck and I was told by Superchips support that it would be several months before they have a calibration file for the 08 4.7l. I sent it back and bought the Hypertech Max Energy. I notice a difference in performance, but not as much as I had expected.

The 08 4.7L is a different animal that the 07 back, so there isn't alot for it yet. The heads were redesigned for the big boost in power, so aftermarket tuning and forced induction will take some time to adapt.
You might check here for parts. Not sure about the 08 yet.http://airram.com/parts.php?categoryid=646

does that superchip 3865 work with my 2008 4.7l flexfuel. The website says it supports 4.7l and 4.7l HO and I was trying to figure out what the 4.7l HO meant. Is that flex fuel.
