Compression Test

OK before anyone says anything....I have done a search and didn't come up with a straight answer. SO please can someone tell me what kinda #'s I should have. Now I know that a regular piston engine tester isn't the best thing ....but you should still have a good idea right? And should you do the test when it is warm? Iv'e seen people saying anywhere from 60-120 is good? Is that correct? Now is there going to be any difference between the 12a and 13b? What about a stock motor compared to a ported motor? Please clear this up for me...(and everyone else)
Thanks

All of the information except the streetport numbers is in the archive thread.

Mazda motorsports has the numbers somewhere on their site, IIRC a SP should be like 120 where a non ported is 150. Cranking speed is critical to getting proper numbers.
