compression test # help

So today I decided to do a compression test on my evo 9, just hit 107 k , it's tuned on e85 with basic bolt ons. I have looked through some threads though and can't seem to find a solid number on what the 9 motors should be, also read that the 9s # are lower than the 8s. Mine numbers went as follows 140,140,130,149, are these numbers ok or should I be worried and info is much appreciated

Looks good to me.

If you drop some oil into cylinder 3 and see compression rise then you know your motor is starting to go.

If it doesn't then most likely one of your valve seals is leaking which isn't uncommon and means your head needs to be refreshed.
