Just talked to a WFO about that today. He told me that it should be 135 PSI.
He suggests pulling the jugs and relining them at 2000 miles. There's 2300 miles on mine now but I'm going to try and get another season out of it before rebuilding....... Got my fingers crossed.

That sound really low to me.

On my 03.5 900 I am getting 153 at 1200'. That is bone stock with 3500+ miles.

Really need to clarify at what elevation you are reading at as air density will change with elevation (and other factors too). Also, it is very typical for gauges to differ in reading. Finally, El King Cat I believe was asking about the ratio (a volumetric displacement formula), not the cranking compression as one's gauge would read. JPM is really close, I too thought it was just shy of 13:1 as well.
