Post Compression test results....let me know what you think...

Well, I got around to running a compression check yesterday to see if I had beat the seats into the heads by floating the valves. Here are the numbers....

1-160
2-160
3-165
4-160
5-160
6-170
7-160
8-Couldnt get the gauge in that cyl with Longtubes

Seems like thats pretty good numbers wouldnt you say? Thats with a 10 to 1 comp motor with a 230/236 110lsa cam. Im thinkin everything is hunky dory, so Im going to put a set of springs on it and see how it does. Anyone see any problems with those numbers? I know the 170 reading is a bit higher than the others, but it was dark, and I might have not been reading the gauge correctly.
