140 psi is good. 110 psi is borderline. 10% or more difference between the two cylinders is bad.

I can't take the suspense. What are your compression readings?

It depends on the cams and how many revolutions.
Leak down test is also important.

Dynamic compression checks are going to be all over the map. All the factors above, plus the properties of the gauge itself come into play. Consistency is the most telling quantity you'll get.

A leak-down (static) compression test can tell you a lot more about the actual health of the cylinder(s), if you're really concerned.
