1994 1.8L V6 Compression?

I got a compression test today and i had a straight across the board in all cylinders 130lbs.
2 Questions...

1.) What was the stock compression (lbs)?

2.) What should a 94 roughly be at over time (lbs)?

Thanks.

Re: SmoothMX3 - 93 MX3 GS

Nice Car, But a little advice when you have such thin rims so that you can see the calipers and rotor try buying aftermarket Rotos (Slotted looks better) and either a new Caliper or just paint your old one. It makes the rims and car look alot better.

Supercharger for 1.8L V6

I'v been looking around for some Superchargers for my 94' 1.8L V6 MX3 and i just cant find any sites that have MX3 Parts... Does anyone have any sites/places that stock MX3 Superchargers or possibly a part that will fit the exact same as a MX3 Part?

Thanks.
