You don't NEED to do a compression test, but you can do one at any time...
As long as the numbers are all even, I wouldn't worry about anything.
I find that peak compression doesn't max out until several thousand miles after rebuilding.

Wait until 2000 miles, then check. You should do 100+ by then.

Now, just drive it and don't worry.
