You cant really compare compression numbers to others.


different Cams will cause changes in compression numbers

Yes you are fine, as long as you are within factory spec and not a huge variation between cylinders you are good to go.

if you want more assurance, my personal Evo 8 that has seen a billion dyno hours, over 18 open track events, 30+ psi at times, etc etc also has 180 compression across.

Wow, a billion dyno hours, I'm guessing this is just a rough estimate!
