In my opion the 145 compression reading is good. If you do have some doubts you can always back this up with a leakdown test. As far as the timing, on both my 302's ran best at 38 degrees total (most HP). The thing to remember is that the heads, even with the larger valves, may still not flow the greatest. Small ports, and even with port work, are still not the greatest. I also went back to 6 months of time slips on my FB, and the average 60 foot was a 1.90 (on 10.5 inch slicks)so a 2.00 is not out of the question.
