I'm not sure but before the turbo died in my 03 6.0 it was slower when it came back with the new turbo. Maybe they did a reflash or something that made it slower, I'm not sure.

from what i've gathered in reading on a lot of forums is that it is potentially the best 6.0 motor because of the turbo and the pcm isn't as "fragile" or "tuned down" because of emissions laws.

According to the 6.0 Bible the latter engines uses a different camshaft, which FMC claims was a result of increase anti-polution standards but who really knows? And I beleive that the original turbo had more blades on the compressor side compared with the newer turbos.

and is a bit larger in diameter, they wil creat faster boost in the upper RPM range, but a bit more lag than the newer trucks.

It could be. My 03 just had turbo replaced under warenty and it doesn't seem the same. I think it is slower mybe they gave it a new flash.
