Can compression test number be off due to very hot weather?
My engine hits 300+ psi in all cylinders (12:1). In the Northeast weather has been very hot and humid (102F). I had my car out for an hour and it felt really sluggish has to be becaue of the weather. I did a compression test and I hit 300 (cylinder 4) 300 (cylinder 3) 290 (cylinder 2) 295 (cylinder 1) I did a compression test about 2 weeks ago and I was 300 across the board. Any opinions

Compresion tests you look for variances between cylinders more than absolute numbers, so it realy won't matter about the temprature.
