What I was saying is that a smaller displacement engine will need to spin up faster and to a higher RPM to produce power as fast if not faster than the 6.2. Compare the 4.0L V8 found in the BMW M3 vs the 6.2L V8 found in the Mercedes C63 AMG. The smaller motor spools up much faster than the 6.2 because it has to make up for a smaller displacement.
By their nature, a large displacement push-rod engine will run up slower than a DOHC, smaller engine, it also wont rev as high.
The 5.7L, 6.1L Hemi's, the L99 and LS3, etc..all considered "lazy". Powerful!..but not as fast to produce power as non pushrod V8's.
