Good call Stazi. But I thought we could get away with ~13.0:1 - 13.5:1 compression on a N/A application? If not, expect to lose a couple of HP if you decide to fatten the AFR.

From my experience you will not loose any HP by richening it up to around 13:1
Below that you may stay the same or you may loose a tad, but it is better to be safe. I think 13.5:1 was ok on my car because it seemed rather detonation resistance in low-mid rpm range. However, once it broke 6000-6500 it would sometimes ping when hot so I would richen it back up to about 12.8 to 12.9:1 just for the protection.
You are being held back by your exhaust and intake for sure. Those items on my car made from anywhere from 11 to 23 horsepower, and I dyno'd 196 fWHP with stock SVT intake and exhaust with my SVT hybrid with 3L valves and porting.

Wow - I didn't realise he still had the stock exhaust and intake - yeah those two in combo will sap you around 20hp at the wheels on a 3L.

Isn't the diameter a little small for a 3L? Might consider a truebendz...

Yeah, I think his motor is really going to sing if he gets a fender mount big air filter and 3" pipe going through to the throttlebody. The exhaust will net more ponies too.

Those numbers look pretty good. That just tells me that I must have one of the most under performing 3L!

Just an update for anyone who cares 
I put in the K&N 3530 and the MAF adaptor to replace the dirty stock air filter...I could immediately tell the difference! It feels like the engine can actually breathe now.
I also removed the hoodlining as well and the combination of the two really makes this engine sound mean!
