That's decent, generally above 130 is good.

My spare motor pulls 200-215psi and the motor currently in my car has around 180-190.

I would say a 155-170 gap is a little wide for boost...

I'll do a retest again because I don't think I cranked it enough times on each cylinder.

I'd say boost it till she blows. Might surprise you how long it lasts if tuned correctly.
