Because of the heads and VVT setup. When you look at aftermarket stuff for them internally they should be labled as that or 09+ like you referred to. Im not 100% sure if Mopar coined the term or not but you will see it used alot to show the difference from the 03-08 blocks. The blocks didnt change from 03-08, 09 it did change.

Higher compression in 09-up as well.
