Default A Question About Compression

What is the range of compression for a 103" twin cam with a SE255 cam?
Mine hot tests around 220psi.

255's do generate a lot of cranking pressure.. factory compression ratio on the 2013 models is 9.6 to 1 i'm using harley's 204 cams and the automatic compression releases work great. what year is your bike, and does it have either manual or automatic compression releases?

I have an '09 RKC with the SE Stage II. I also switched to 2012 heads with ACR's. Starts easily. And doesn't ping. I was just curious what others get with the same setup. I don't think many really know.
