Compression ratio of the engine, and compression of each cylinder are two completely different things. The numbers are consistant which is a very good thing. I don't know what the factory numbers are, but it looks like it should be on the money.

That's just peachy for an 8.7:1 engine. It should be running not far from how it was originally, assuming you have good injectors, a clean air filter, a clean fuel filter, etc.
