Default Compression test numbers for 10.5:1 compression?

I did a compression test yesterday and I think my numbers are a little low. I have 799 heads on an stock bottom end LS1, TSP 233/239 cam. My compression ratio is 10.5:1, and Im averaging between 185-195. Given that stock LS1's average between 190-200, I think mine are a little too low. Anyone with a similar set up get any compression test results I can compare to??

You can't expect a cam like that to crank as high as a stock cam.
