Default compression test

I just did my compression test after my supercharger being on for 30,000 miles.
the results were lowest was 186 highest was 189. is this pretty good? Im basically having my t-belt, water pump, main seal leak being fixed, supercharger being redone, im fixing anything that I can while this is being done, any recomendations as what else to change or look for? while im completing these repairs?

Why not bring that SC beast to RA on the 16th and 17th. There will be at least 7 928's there, 5 of them on the rack.

The very low spread 186-189 is quite good. The small variance is far more important than the actual number in most cases since battery condition ,throttle open /closed , number of cranks, altitude, how hot the engine is etc., all impact the numbers.

Your 928 is in good hands with Jean-Louis! He does excellent work, and is an honorable man.
