you can't really tell what the compression ratio is from cranking pressure, i used to drive a dirt track car that was 9 to 1 compression with a 2bbl and cranking pressure was about 205, it depends on what the cam timing is, that motor ran on 105 octane an made 550hp, not bad for a 2bbl!!!

------------------
69 CST 10 496/700R4 10.40 @ 135mph, and its street legal!!!!
89 F/S Blazer 388, vortec blower,(eats SST's and s@!ts Lightnings)
67 Chevelle 350H/327, L79
screamer!!
97 Grand Am GT (wifes car)its not all that fast but it handles awesome!!

Its not how much it costs, it how well you hide it from your wife!!!!
