looks ok to me, how many miles are on it? The main thing is that there is no huge variance in readings from cylinder to cylinder and they are not astronomically low or high.

A little low, but it'll work. From the factory it's around 200. My first z6 had 182k on it (with the last 30k on 7psi of boost) and it had 170-175's when I pulled it out...
