i'd be interested in knowing the rear axle ratio difference between the 8 and the 12 in question. Quite often a high ratio rear axle can give the false sense of more power even with relatively underpowered engines. This is because most people (especial Americans) are enamoured with the 0-60 mph statistics.
My Executive with 3:09 rear axle is a real DOG 0-40 mph but in the 50-100 mph range it is an excellent performer even on steep long grades.
