Default 1995 Mustang gt Compression Test

I want to do a compression test on my car, but don't know what psi range i should be in. Motor has about 4k on it since rebuild. Does anyone know what the reading was when the was new?

The pressure can vary from engine to engine after it's rebuilt, but there is a minimum for it to be considered in good condition. That pressure is 130 psi, and hopefully all 8 cylinders will be somewhat close in their output.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.

I would put the 130 psi as a minimum. You should be looking at 150+ psi with all within 5 psi on a recent rebuild.
