Default Good for boost?

I pan on boosting my d16z6 so I did a compression test, and the results were 175 psi across the board. Is this good for boosting????

BTW that was cold compression. Should I expect higher numbers with a warm engine.

...your always supposed to do compression on a hot motor... and yes, you will get better numbers, cuz things expand and seal up when hot!!

...it's good that you got the same #'s all across, though!
