Default Typical cylinder compression on 3.3L?

Hello,

As tittle says, what would be the typical cylinder compression in these 3.3L turbo engines (stock in good condition assuming). Not looking for the leak down test at this moment.

Thanks

I just did both compression and leak down before dropping my motor to do more mods.
The compression tester is a new IEC .
I do have small reliefs cut in my pistons for a high lift cam.
I have 10 k miles on a full rebuild
I measured 150 psi on every clyinder
the leak down was less than 1% on every cylinder

Thanks! I got 50 psi for all the cylinders which seemed too funny! Is a new Snapon compression gauge. I will just have to test the gauge in another vehicle and see if is defective or what.
