Post subject:  Cranking compression

About how much should a 170 with 9.3 to 1 compression ,Comp cams 264s installed straight up(degreed to specs) have as far as cranking compression? I have 145-150 across the board but this is with a relatively new engine that only has about 10 hours of running time and none of that is real world driving only a few short light to medium thottle 1/4 mile runs and the rest is tuning,idling,break in,and moving around the shop.
Are these numbers close to right?Thanks in advance.

145-150 sounds very good with your setup, to me.

That's about right... as you noted, the compression may come-up a bit as the rings seat.
A little cam advance would also increase cranking compression.
