Compression test how to

I did a compression test on my 95 gs-r and I forgot to go full throttle when doing it but my question is I got 175 across the board would I have gotten higher numbers if I had full throttle while doing the test.

EDIT:

actually now that i think about it, how hard you press the accelerator shouldnt determine the compression

Was your engine warm or cold? It makes a big difference.

Are you sure? I think the throttle being all the way to the floor opens up the Intake butterfly all the way, so it wont affect the numbers

I could be wrong.
