that's pretty good. is it even on all 4 cylinders?

it'll depend on your compression ratio mainly.

Re: Compression good or not? (poison)

hmm..i did a compression test on my b16 with just CTR pistons and cams. it was 265 across all four cylinders. i did it with all the plugs out, and the throttle open. did i do something wrong.. or are those numbers normal for those mods in a b16?
