well its either losing it past the rings or the valvejob isnt sealing on all the cylinders.
do a leakdown on it to see where it is going.

was the head rebuilt when you built the engine? did you take out the fuel pump fuse when you did the comp test? did you have the TB open?

You have a problem because the numbers should be very close to each other. Did you check valve lash?

1) is the car operating temp when ur doing this.

2) are u cranking the car over 12 times while your foot is holding the gas pedel down.

3) if the valvelash is indeed correctly.. and you spin the car over.. and get 280.. i'd shoot for 260-280 to be decent.. ur enabled 5% variable between the numbers.
