Question 383 Stroker Compression test?

Hi all! I have a Mallet Hammer 2002 Z06 that has a 383 stroker and I want to do a comp test. It has Mahle pistons, cam all that stuff, but as a "ball park" what kind of PSI should i be getting? I have no build sheet or dyno sheet or nuthin, got it cheap. And what wiring and/or fuses should I remove before testing? Thanks again, Brian.

It's kind of depends on the cam and the timing of it. Something in the neighborhood of 150 psi would probably be a ballpark figure.

Got it. I did a compression test and avg 170+psi on a cold engine, so I'm happy. Thx for reply!
