Default Compression test results too low? - b16a2 with 9.4:1 CP

Alright, my motor makes a lot of noise, like piston slap even when the motor is fully warmed up, I thought maybe the rings didnt seat properly. So, my question is are these compression numbers too low for a 9.4 compression ratio, stock head. I got 125 across the board. The person who did the test said it should be around 160 with that compression ratio. Did the person who installed my pistons mess up and hone the cylinder walls too much? What gives?
