Default Quick question on compression numbers

My compression in my 1999 Acura Integra LS w/ 76,000 miles is 175 across the board is that ok? I heard it supposed to be in the 190 range.. is that OK?

Thanks!

Did you have the throttle fully opened?

As long as the numbers are consistent, you should be fine. The ultimate compression is strongly affected by your gauge.
