Thanks but, I had that info

I am researching 351 engine building. I have searched for days, but can not account for the 60HP & 25TQ difference between the 351 Lightning & 351 Cobra R engines?

351 Lightning
240 HP @ 4200 RPM
340 TQ @ 3200RPM

351 Cobra R
300 HP @ 4800 RPM
365 TQ @ 3750 RPM

From HowStuffWorks.com

"Higher compression (9.2:1), a wilder cam, and larger throttle body yielded 300 horsepower and a thumping 365 pound-feet."

Higher compressio: 8.8 : 1 to 9.2:1
Wilder cam?
Larger throttle body? 65mm to ?
