The 300 I had before consistently read 180-185psi. My 200 before that read similarly.

Ron @ RB Designs did the squish band mod on my 250. He requested that I perform a compression test before sending him the head. He was not surprised by the reading.

Bottom line, if you get consistent readings you're probably fine, as long as it runs fine.
I am not sure what a GG is, but I looked up a Honda CR250 2t and it was at 8.5:1. I never understood these high compressions.
