Ayuh,... The Big Question is,... What did You get,..??

About anything over 100psi,+ it'll Run....
Depending on the Build,... 120psi to 180 psi is concieveable...

Cylinder compression ratio is 8:1.Cylinder pressure probably around 150-160lbs..All cylinders should be within 10% of each other.

I'm shaking down a 1998 Eliminator Eagle XP this Wed and will perform a compression test on all cyl prior to purchase.
