I’m having a difficult time understanding why this is an argument. Both engines are good for their intended purpose, but would agree the the 6.2 was not designed or intended to be a mass air mover at higher rpm’s that you typically are living in for peak HP. It also does not have some of the component designs of the factory forced induction engines.
The Coyote is preferable to either of the options being argued, as are most of the LS (most not factory supercharged, but the 4.8, 5.3 and 6.2 can withstand quite a bit of power and torque for a long time, and I would argue can withstand much more than the stock Ford 6.2) and Hellcat engines. I would take this 6.2, which has 143k supercharged miles on it, over the 5.7 POS in the Sequoia my wife drives. It sheds roughly one quart of oil every 1500 miles (my 6.2 is down ~.5 quart every 5k, depending on how I have driven it).
I like my 6.2 and it has done very well for me. That said, would I be more confident if it were an LS, Hellcat or even blown 5.0 Coyote under the hood versus my TVS-powered 6.2? My answer is yes.
