Dry Compression results - cyl4 a little off

hey guys
just got a dry compression test done (115K on the engine). Fuel relay was unplugged. Car warmed up.
Cyl1 150
Cyl2 150
Cyl3 155
Cyl4 175 (passenger side by the firewall)

Cyl5 155
Cyl6 155
Cyl7 158
Cyl8 165

Q: Cyl3 -> Cyl4 diff of 20psi. Should i be concerned? What could cause this?

Though the fuel relay was out, could have had some residual pressure. I wouldn't worry about it tbh. You can redo the test after you bleed off the fuel pressure and see if the results change.
