Default 2008 RST 5.3 Auto Horsepower?

I'm picking up a 2008 RST single cab tomorrow, and can't find much info online. I actually live very close to where Regency was in Ft. Worth. I'm wondering if the 08, which is new body style, still comes with same options as earlier year model. I know the previous years had K&N intake, ceramic headers, trueflow exhaust, and so forth. Does the 08 have those too, and what is horsepower rating for 08 with 5.3 auto? Thanks guys...

I have an 09 RST, and no they stopped adding intakes n headers i believe in 06 for smog reasons, at least here in CA. I did 320hp 308tq to the wheels back when I first got it, it had a CAI, shorty headers, U/D pulley, with the stock 22s.

It is an 08 with 30k miles. Does 18.5 seem fair, if in perfect condition?

I paid 11k for my 04 RST with 67k miles, that price is pretty good for an 08 imo
