Do i have too high compression

[fredsknekt]

Hello everybody.

I have a -75 Chevy nova that I bought last year.
It has edelbrock 600, long headders and the manifold is a kind of standard thing.
The guy told me It had a Chevy sb 350 with plateaued 400 heads were the head number is 882.
Now I have checked the compression, and It is 10,9 too 11,1 Bar.
Now i wounder if it too high compression or If It's just allright and the heads are good.
What do you Think about my Engine...

doing a converion to PSI, 11.1 BAR is 161 PSI and that is not high, Those are low compression heads 76CC and even milled will give about 9.5:1 compression ratio. They are not performance heads.

yes i know that it is not for performance, but in time it will be athers.
OK nice that the heads are ok
