well....
the thing to remember even though the V6 may make as much HP or even more, it is going to make LESS TORQUE! Yes, the LLT has 304 HP but it has only 273 ft/lbs of torque... So while your truck has 270 HP how much torque does it have? That's the number you really need to look at...
People tend to look only at the 304 HP... which is simply, well.... silly...
That being said, I love my V6... but the thing to remember is you simply can't compare a 304 HP V6 to a V8 without looking at the torque numbers...
