The SCT tunes for the 5.0 is the 87, 91 and 93 octane and be looking at gains of about 15 rwhp and 30 torque increase and that's gonna be on the 93 octane tunes so prob looking at 2-3 less for the 87 octane tune. ( assuming truck is stock )

But biggest different you will see from a tune, either a preloaded tune or custom, power gains aside, is how it will remap the shift points of the transmission so much quicker and smoother shifts then before and elimates 95% of throttle lag.

Let me know any other questions, glad to help!

Hope this helps!
