How much hp did the original '52 supercharged version make?

It was a one-off styling exercise or perhaps an ego-project for Edward Macauley (Chief of Styling) so I doubt any specs were ever published; if they were I've never seen them.

The supercharged 359 in the Panther was reported by Packard to have 275 hp so you could "guesstimate" from there for the 327. Two of the 4 Panthers were supercharged, one with Ultramatic and one standard shift. Leeedy may come along and add to this, he's most knowledgeable on the Panthers.
