That seems like reasonable numbers. The 5.7L Hemi in a 2004 or 2007 Magnum or Charger is NHRA rated at 345HP, and the 6.1L Hemi in the same vehicles are listed as "ESI" - Engine Specs Incomplete.
The 5.9L Magnum Dakota / Ram engine was last used in the 1998 model year I believe and the 275 HP rating is approximately the same as those older Dakota or Ram trucks.
At 385 HP I believe the CJ500 Mustangs will have to "get out of second gear" (old Rambler song) to keep up with the Challenger 6.1L.

Mr. Warehime,
A 392 CID is approximately a 6.4L and is not what is supplied with the Challenger Drag-Pack.
