The 6.2 requires premium octane, so it kinda doesn’t.
Like I said, I've operated both the 4.3 and 6.2s each for over 2 years, and simultaneously at that.

So yes, the 4.3 is weak, makes little low-end power, and must be held in higher RPM to extract any of that V8 equivalent power you speak of.

Have you driven either?
