not bad. they are all pretty close to each other. that is the important thing

i think they're suppose to be at around 240 psi, but consistency was what i was looking for.

i did mine the other day and they were all at 150 but my car still rips hard is this bad?

150 is still int he good range 220 is great.

as long as they're within 5% of each other your ok

Did you remember to disable the fuel system before you did the test??

If not, disable it and do the test again...your numbers will come up.

if you don't disable the fuel system, it would cause the #s to be lower? i just did my motor on sat and it came out to be 180 across (+/- 2) with the fuel system on. If your motor has a higher compression than stock, the number should come out to be higher than stock? or lower? forgive me for my noob question

If you don't disable the fuel system, the fuel injectors will "gas wash" the oil off of the cylinder walls dropping the actual compression numbers. Rings need a thin layer of oil to truely seal properly. That's also why you may have heard about people placing a small amount of oil directly into the cylinder if they got low numbers from it. If the compression number comes up after that, it indicates that the rings may be bad, if the number doesn't change, it indicates a bad valve-to head-seal.

Without getting overly technical, an engine that has higher compression (all else being equal) will normally produce higher compression numbers.

learned something new just now! thanks

BTW, those first posted numbers are awsome...
