03 has 2 options, the SO motor which was 250hp 460 tq and the HO which was 305 Hp and 555 tq. the early 04 all they had was the 305/555 motor and then in 04.5 the 600 motor came out.

No cats on the 03's either. I don't think the cats came until the 04.5 600s. Also my 03 came with a 3 inch exhaust which I replaced. The 600s come with a full 4 incher. Check here to confirm this but I hear that the 555s run cooler on the EGT side but produce less boost than the 600s.

Actually the 04.5 has (325hp).

The change from the 305 hp. 555 ft lb. to the 325 hp. 600 lb. was jan. 1/04, so if your not sure which 04 you are looking at check the sticker on the side of the valve cover, or the build date on the sticker on the drivers door.
