I have been waiting on my end over the past year for somethings to finalize before I purchase a Cobra. I am finally ready and I have been planning to buy one off of Hi-End Auto (Hi-End Auto - Hi-End Auto) in VA as their inventory cannot be matched. A few new ones came in the other day and I was specifically looking at one. I emailed for details and one of the details I received were the results on a compression test. This specific Cobra had the following test results:

#1 150
#2 150
#3 148
#4 150
#5 150
#6 148
#7 150
#8 150

This Cobra is just pullied with a few other base mods and has 36,550 miles. Should compression be higher for one with this low of miles? I thought perfect compression was more near 180 or so... I would think a 36k Cobra should be closer to 170. I need some advice on this, I wasn't able to find the stock compression number reading in the service manual.

The bad.. numbers are a little low. Expecting more like 160+.

The good.. they are within range of each other. +/-

Those were my thoughts exactly. I don't like how low they are for the mileage. Are these results that I probably should stay away from?
