MUGEN Head Gasket and Compression

I installed the MUGEN head gasket on my R and I am getting great compression. I am using 93 Octane.

Actually it was just a coinsidence, I did a compression check on my car this weekend and I wanted to post the numbers. I can't tell you if it made a difference because I installed a bunch off stuff all together. I have to tune and Dyno the car. I think the gasket will make a difference once I install some Toda Cams.

Quick Questions...

Is there a way to calculate your actual compression rate from those numbers so that you know XX:1?

Also, doesn't the Mugen Headgasket create some kind of clearance issue with teh Toda Cams since the lobes is so much larger?

TIA
