#1 - 153psi
#2 - 150psi
#3 - 151psi
#4 - 150psi
#5 - 153psi
#6 - 151psi
#7 - 152psi
#8 - @#$%^ (couldnt get the damn tester in the spark plug hole

Thats pretty good for 55k miles on a 347 that had a blower on it and has 8.5:1 compression, right?

I didnt even bother warming the car up, because I knew by the time I got all the plugs loosened it'd be cold again anyways. So if it was at operating temp I'd say it might be closer to like 160psi, right?

I would say that number 4 is harder than #8 but those all look great. Great consistancy!

Not in my case, since #4 is forward facing and the tester had a 18" long hose attached to it. I got the pass side done in under 5 mins, driver side took alot longer.
