I think stock compression test numbers run about 190 across the board. What's important, though, is if one cylinder is off by more than, say, 10%. That would indicate a problem in one cylinder and not just all the rings wearing evenly. If all your numbers are about the same, I wouldn't be too worried unless they we below 170 or so. Why did you have your head shaved? If you intended to increase compression, then you likely didn't do it enough, as I think the common job is .010" just to ensure everything's flat and seats properly to the block. Not 100% on that, but I know I have the idea right.  Also, if you intend to raise compression numbers by milling the head, you will need adjustable cam gears to dial the slack out of the timing belt or you will never get it run right imo.

oh, also, on a totaly diffrent note, i think i might have a bad throw out bearing....when my car idles i hear this loud clicking and clanking comming from the tranny, when i push in the clutch it goes away, so when im reving i can kind of hear it.....but the loud noise from the motor covers it up lol =)
Throwout bearing from Mopar is about $45. If you have the tranny out, and you have a modular clutch, this is the easiest thing inthe world to change. Of course, getting the tranny out isn't so easy so...

can that cause like a misfire type thing, cuz when im driving its it will misfire like bad at like 2-3 1/2 grand, 4 grand and up it does it a little bit but not at bad...its really slugish so i thinken maybe just cuz the clutch is slipping or somthing??? im trippen its going on the shop monday but any ideas????
If ths happens when you are still getting on or off teh clutch, then it might be clutch rlated, but I assume you wouldn't really be spending too much time at those rpm ranges an not be off the clutch and wholly on the gas. Considering this, I would suggest that before you take your car to the shop, you go to AutoZone and get a set of new plugs and wires (~$40). Most of the time, this solves the misfire. Better to pay $40 yourself than have a shop install your plugs and wires and charge you about $100 to do so.
Good luck with all these little noises and sputter man. I know how much the little crap just grates and grates on you. Take it easy!
