They don't mix. Static compression ratio, ie 10 to 1, 9.6 to 1, have no relation to the cranking compression that the engine has. The cam timing can completely change that.

But, 195 lbs sounds a little on the high side. Is the engine new?? Maybe carbon build up. Also, are you checking it dry or wet??
