Curious compression test...

I just measured the compression on my 79SC, the numbers are as follows:

1-110psi
2-109
3-111
4-109
5-112
6-110psi

I rebuilt the engine 18 months ago, I changed the pistons to 9.3:1 and a 964 cam (the jugs are Alusil). I have about 6000 miles on the engine since the rebuild. The car was warm when I ran the test, I also had the throttle wide open.

These numbers seem a little low to me!!! Should I be concerned?

Thanks

Stu
