Thanks for that confirmation. As I recall, there was was also an article in Hot Rod Magazine. It's been many years since those articles, and I doubt I could find any of them. Heck, I could do the math if I remembered the piston dish and valve relief volume, along with head gasket thickness.

The OP here can google "Goodwrench 350 actual compression" and get lots of hits.
