Speed Four Engine Compression

What should the cylinder compression of my 2006 Speed Four be? I've heard varying answers? Does anybody know?

I'm not sure if there is a factory number out there (I couldn't find one in the manual or even anything about testing compression). However, from my own experience, an engine with 12.5:1 compression ratio should be producing between about 180-250 psi warm, depending on cam profile and whatnot. The main thing is that you want consistency within about 10% between all cylinders.
