Sounds like decent numbers.
Rings seem to be in OK shape.

What motor and mods?

Any changes to the "other" compression?

What more do you need to know??

The compression is good, and that proves that the engine seems to be strong still. Boosting it is going to tear it up a lot faster than just keeping it NA, but that is the nature of a honda with a snail attached to it.
If you really want to be sure that it is all going to go right then take the block to a machine shop and build it for boost so you know damn sure that it can handle it.

That sounds like a stout motor, Dohc ZCs vary from motor to motor. Mines about 190 across the board too and the motor is in decent shape still. - Darrell
