Default compression question

i just got my engine compression tested and it came to 150-150-150-150, but how do i convert this into a compression ratio? my stock spec is 10.4:1, and i'm wondering how far off this ten year old engine actually is. if anybody knows how to convert this sort of thing, your input would be appreciated greatly

Default Re: compression question

like 8:6:1 theres a ratio in a thread i just saw...

got it...
8:1-8.5:1 c/r = 150-170 psi per cylinder 8.5:1-9.5:1 c/r = 170-210 psi per cylinder
9.5:1-11:1 c/r = 210-275 psi per cylinder 11:1+ c/r = 250+ per cylinder
