The absolute numbers look a tad low based on what you'd expect - but I don't get too concerned about those. Your cam selection will havea huge impact on cranking compression. I have had 428 engines with lower numbers that were smooth, tight and dry - and ran into the 11s in a 3600 pound street car.
