Default boosted ls not making power compression no good either??

Well i finally got my sc61 on and i went out and did some pulls. When I noticed it wasnt pulling like It should i even had the boost up to 15 psi and it was pulling good but probably only making 230ish whp. thats what it felt like. And i pulled in and did a compression test and it came out as 90, 150, 120,120 I am thinking it is a blown head gasket. but what other things could it be? there is some oil here and there. that spalettered on the hood. any guesses? it idles fine. before i started tearing it down.

Either a headgasket or rings more then likely. I would take the motor apart and see whats going on. Those numbers are really low. I think its either the rings or maybe your valves are bent and leaking.
