When the 6.2 originally came out it was campaigned as a 7.0L. In fact, it was rumored that Ford had Roush racing put one in a mustang, and take it drag racing. Imagine if Ford had stuck with the 6.2L architecture and made a 7.0L BOSS!

It was a race engine produced to beat its pushrod rivals. It was never allowed to compete because of course it would have won across the board and the other manufacturers threw a hissy fit about it.

this is the 7.0L that leadmic was referring to

the motortrend article is a little off when talking about the 6.2. they ignore the changes for 2017 when torque was increased to 430.

Different camshafts with the 2017+ 6.2L. 25lb-ft of torque alone isnt anything to fuss about, but the camshaft update changed the torque curve considerably and there is a noticeable drivability difference between the two versions of 6.2L.
