Yeah, looks good. Really high numbers though, do you have any carbon buildup?

That could lead to carbon buildup on the pistons. This ups your compression (just as using a thinner headgasket would) and gives you higher numbers. I would suggest seafoam after getting it tuned, and testing again. You'll probably come out in the 220 range. The consistancy in your numbers looks great though, your motor is healthy.
