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

Stock TC 96's are usually slightly less then 9:1.
