Compression makes very little difference to power out. Cam wear makes the biggest difference and a big problem on low usage lycomings due to poor design placement of it on top of the crankcase and according to them the I0360 needs to be flown 40 hours a month to make TBO, this keeps the cam oiled. Even so I am very surprised any 10360 or O360 makes it as such a design mess.
