Compression test. How bad is it?

Road_Runna said:

I've completed 3 compression test on my 90k mile engine. I wanted to find out where my motor was for future upgrades,but i am so unsure of my numbers. Dry test numbers arent exactly matching to each other. Wet test looks better than both dry test.

Cyl- 1st dry/ 2nd dry/ 3rd wet (oil)
1-115. / 111. / 115
2-109. / 105. / 120
3-117. / 105. / 120
4-111. / 114. / 118
5-111. / 106. / 115
6-108. / 115. / 117
7-115. / 112. / 116
8-121. / 121. / 125

I was thinking about doing a gt40p head swap and turbo kit, now? I've got a haunting engine overhaul worry (not what i wanted).

Throttle was held opened on 2nd and 3rd test, and started from cylinder #1 all the way up to #8.

(edited): upon further reading on compression tests, the engine has to draw the same ammount of voltage by the battery on every cylinder. I might have a parasitic draw somewhere, my car doesn't start up immidiatlly in the mornings, but will fire up quick inside of a 10 hour-non use.

2 of my spark plugs (5&6) had fouled black sutt, no oil. Plugs 1 through 4 are not applicable because i changed those out last week and have had 5-8 plugs on for about 12 months (started cleaning 1-4 and i decided to buy 4 new ones for the ones i pulled, so i have 4 very old plugs on the drivers cylinder.

Any ideas or opinions will be welcomed.
