Anyone do a compression test?

What were your results? I got 180psi all around give or take a few psi. Cars been sitting for 5 months. I am not sure if the throttles were opening when I pressed the gas however.

as long as the reading form each cylinder are within 5 to 10 % of each other you are fine.

I'm aware of the variance between cylinders. Im looking more for a comparision to another engine to see how the rings are doing.

Ok got you
I have seen different gauges yield different numbers on same engine on a particular car. But at 180 psi you are in good shape

180 across the board actually sounds perfect given the compression ratio. So, odds are it's in great shape with respect to that. And IIRC you cleaned out any carbon when the s/c went on so that's not a factor.
