07 F250 5.4L - question

I have a 2007 F250 with the 5.4L gas V8, its a Crew Cab, Short box, Auto.
I've got about 15k miles on it.
I've put a K&N FIPK intake on it.
I've put a Aeroturbine 3030XL resonated exhaust system with a stealth 200.
I am using a Superchips 1815 programmer
runing around town half hwy half city i get about 13-14 mpg avg.
when i tow my 6k lbs camper trailer the best ive got is 10mpg, but usually 7-8 mpg if theres alot of hills or headwind or hwy speeds 70+ mph.
Don't get me wrong i love this truck. It can do what i need it to do......but I'd like more..... so
its not feasable to go trade it in for a diesel (so forget about that)
I am thinking........ SUPERCHARGER..
after all they make lots of superchargers for the 5.4L V8.....right?
After searching relentlessly for them i emailed every company i could think of that makes one for the 5.4L several times.

Kenne-Bell -said no kit for f250
Whipple -said no kit for f250
Magnacharger - no response (2 weeks)
Rousch - -said no kit for f250 but said all it would really require is a PCM calibration for the different transmission (5-speed torqshift)
Trilogy Motorsports - no response (2 weeks)

finally a rep. from http://www.powerworks.net/ which is a (magnacharger)
got back to me.....

"Do me a favor and send me your processor code. I would like to see if I can
build the calibration for it for starters. Second would be where do you
live? We have not done a superduty before and there are some underhood
differences. We are unsure that the manifold and supercharger can be
installed in the Superduty body. From looking at it, the intake appears to
be closer to the cowl panel. I would like to do the install here at the
shop to make sure there aren't any issues with the installation and
software.

Kind Regards,

Mark Blaha

Ok now after this huge lengthy post ( i felt i needed to add some background for my question)..

Anybody know were i can find the 4 digit processor code ? or have any other input on what i am trying to do.

THe code should be on the back of the engine firewall, left of center. There will be three large harnesses attached to a silver rectangular box, there will be a sticker with the code on it.

I don't think that's the right code... it should be three letters and a number.

Mine is JFU0.

Talking

the magna charger is a Roots style supercharger .....I was more interested in the twin screw .... but I'll settle for what i can get.

they estimate 140 to 160 hp & torque increase thats 8-10 psi
