Mark, it was said more then once in days of yore, that the 2x4 300C and 
300D 392's could be tuned for about 50 more horsepuppies then factory 
stated levels.

Back in the 90's I chatted with the shop owner (well known shop) that 
restored a D for someone, and he said at the time they redid the motor 
they were concerned about the gas quality so they dropped the 
compression of the 58 392 a full point, from 10:1 to 9:1 and still it 
still pulled 375 hp on the dyno during its first run, he didn't admit to 
what they pulled once they were done with the dyno testing. At that Time 
the car was still very much making the show circuit.
