I'm getting ready to install a vortech v3 on my 90 gt, I have done a compression check , the eight cylinders are all between 150-160 psi, is that ok or do I need to freshen up the engine ?

that should be fine. is the engine otherwise in good condition? Burn oil. Leak coolant, oil etc? The V3 will add additional stress on the engine, and if you have any problems this will be compounded.

Those are great numbers for a 302.
