73F100; that depends on the tester used plus if hand held or screw in with long hose making the combustion chamber larger than really is.
I use a old Snap-On hand held perfect for Porsche's VW's years ago.
Years ago on the 414 build I was offered a brand new Performer cam to go with Performer intake, bad idea as compression ended up 230 PSI.
Detonation at 1/4 throttle with light acceleration. Performer out and a CJ cam in which is still running 19 years later. Low .050" degree numbers 194/204 vs advertised 270/290 with good mpg, around town or easy highway driving on regular or mid grade loaded or in the summer.
Check www.Edyno.com you'll be surprised what dynamic numbers you should run.
