Default Compression on 96"~ 103"

I checked my compression on my 103" HQ (10.1 ratio)186 front 185 rear thats good right?
&nbsp\\;
There is a formula for knowing if your in range (actual comp. reading to ratio)&nbsp\\;any one know of this formula?
&nbsp\\;
I was also wondering what compression is on a 96" any one know?

96" = 9.2:1

185/185 is nice &amp\\;\\\\\\; even. I am not sure what the projected range might be. My 98" build @ 10:1 was something like 198/199 (anticipated was 200). **HOWEVER**, I was running 0039 cams and they make more cylinder pressure than the 575's do - so this is not a good comparison.

You might want to pose the question on the HQTechline (yahoo group). There are folks there that can give you "actual" answers rather that speculation...
&nbsp\\;
Stock TC 96's are usually slightly less then 9:1.
