Compression test, what are typical #'s

I did a compression test just now, and was wondering what if the #'s I got are good.

Here are the amounts I got,

not sure what firing order they are but,

1st piston--- 190 psi
2nd piston--- 185 psi
3rd piston--- 185 psi
4th piston--- 180 psi
5th piston--- 185 psi
6th piston--- 190 psi

Please respond and let me know if these are typical #'s.

Steve

Looks good to me. I'm getting higher than normal reading because of carbon build ups. I need to do those B&G induction cleaning
