They shouldn't be 5 numbers away from one another? Right?

If I'm not mistaken its 15psi from each other so number 1 is falling behind. Do it again with the engine at operating temperature, accelerator all the way in, and connect a charger to the battery.

10% from highest cylinder compression was 157psi so x 10% = 15.7psi from each other.
