I found my Cranking Cylinder Pressure (CCP) problem

After a long conversation with a great Cam Tech at Howards - Kirk - we determined that something was not right with my current Comp XR274HR-10 cam setup and before I start swapping cams it would be best to run a compression test again using a different compression tester to verify the low CCP (115-120psi) numbers I got 2 years ago using a off brand chinese made tester that I got from a friend.
So today using a old KD Tool compression stamped made in the USA I re ran all 8 cylinders and low and behold I averaged 190 psi across the board. Great news
So here I am have been running around like a 3 legged chicken for the past 2 years screaming low CCP! low CCP! blaming the camshaft - Sorry Comp Cams.
The morel to this story is - NEVER EVER trust cheap *** crap for quality chinese made tools they will only get you in trouble.
I knew better, I feel like a Dam Fool!

Yep, I do not trust any of that recycled Yak turds Chinese ****. Now days you have to read every box or label. Can not seem to be able to purchase light bulbs without Made by Xi Wunshortdong on the label.
I was looking at PAC valvesprings on ebay. PAC 1218-16 for $160, shipped out of Florida. Another at $140 out of the commie state. Then one for $109 but shipped from Zhanghunglow, China. Specs all looked the same, but I don't trust the CCP/PLA Yak turds crap and do not want to willingly support that regime.
