Compression ratio 4.5

I have a 1972 280se with a 4.5 v8 and was wondering what the compression ratio was. Wikipedia says 8.8 : 1 Is that correct? Also was wondering what the hp and torque numbers for this car would be if she were running at 100% Thanks for reading. Looking forward to some info.

IIRC, CR is 8.0/1 and HP is 230 SAE Gross, not net. Mark
