Default 160 compression test is that bad?

I got my motor from hmotorsonline.com and have had trouble with it from the start, I don't know what the problem is but it stutters sometimes seems like it does it more and more the hotter it gets, I did a compression check on it and I got

1st - 165
2nd - 165
3rd - 160
4th - 180

I know this is is below average, anyone have an suggestions/comments?

It defninetly has lower compression, but nothing that will horibly affect perfromence. Get some CTR psitions/new rings, be the end of low compression....

How did you test it? Was it fully warmed up, did you unplug the fuel injectors, and did you remember to have the throttle wide open while testing?

160 is on the low side, yes. Mine's 210-220 psi across the board.
