I don't think you can nail that down with compression readings . IMO your readings are a good indication that you have a good ring and valve seal package and possibly small chamber heads. Whats heads are on it? Without bore, stroke, head gasket thickness etc etc specs..... it may be hard to actually really know. But I'm no pro we'll wait for the experts to chime in.

I guess you're looking for the static compression ratio, so... http://www.wallaceracing.com/cr_test2.php

Intake valve closing point will have a major effect on cranking cylinder poundage readings.

the heads are dove c,bore is .30 over from stock,stroke is stock,that is all i know about the engine.im trying to get the cam card from the guy i got it from.i will post the specks of everything when i get it.im looking for a ballpark idea of the compression.thanks

the heads and block are not milled.i did get the cam card the specks are gross valve lift intake .589 exhaust .615 duration @ .050 intake 256 exhaust 267 lobe separation 108. hope this helps
