Mike I would expect at least 150 Psi ....
we see 8.5 : 1 engines as good as 160-170
and you have the 9.4 : 1
I would expect 150-170 and the lowest reading cylinder should be at least 70% of the highest and no lower than 100 psi
Never know with a hit that hard mike.. Anything is possible

I read recently that as a "rule of thumb," each +8 degrees of intake duration should equal about 5 psi lost compression. Thus a GT1 cam versus stock (with no decking, etc.) should lose somewhere around 20-25 psi compression versus stock, so I'd expect perhaps as low as 135-140 psi or so on your setup, fully warmed up.

Ok, I think I may give the rear head gasket a shot.
It would only be $30 something for the gasket and just add fluids. I have the other set of TTY head bolts from when I did the front head and my revised LIM gaskets are in great shape.
I may wait a few weeks since I just did a mobile 1 oil change..
I'll do the head gasket and then do the compression test with the engine hot and heat soaked.

Had a problem much like this which almost drove me nuts until I ran a resistance check of each fuel injector. Found two that were down to 6 ohms resistance instead of the 11.8 to 12.6 ohms stated in the sevice manual. They seemed to work okay when cold and the resistance measured about 8 ohms but when engine warmed up the resistance dropped to around 6 ohms and thats when the misfire problems started. Put in new injectors and it worked fine after that. Did the same as you first putting in all those other parts without any luck.

Catching up here..
Mike..I can check my compression tonight and while it might not be a good indicator..we should have TJ check as well.
