You didn't say bore size or what motor size. If you have a 65mm bore stock stroke cub you might have 140-160 psi with 19s. I've ran 18,19,20 cc domes all in a 68 bore cub dynoed those, raced them and I will tell you going from 140 psi to 180 is a big jump in power. There are numerous ways you could read low. Too thick of a base gasket is a common one, poor gauge reading from an auto parts store gauge is another one that's common, engine needs to be warmed up. U Need to use a good snapon gauge if you can and hold the throttle wide open and kick hard a few times on a fully warmed up motor. I rarely use a gauge, I go by my trapped volume measurement.
