Compression test on my TII...questions

Alright...I did a test on my TII yesterday. I tested on the BOTTOM plugs...not the top. Rotary Resurrection says to use the bottom ones, while I've read on this forum that the top ones are the ones to check. Other things I should note are that the engine was cold, and that I only pulled one plug at a time...not both bottom plugs at once. So I pulled it on the front rotor, tested, replaced the plug, and went to the back. Will this make a difference, or do both plugs have to be out at once? Anyways...my numbers were a solid 100 PSI on both rotors all the way around. How does this sound, and should I re-test in a different way (top plugs, warm it up, both plugs out, etc?)

Hey man...throttle not depressed...and the fuses were taken out. This is the first compression test I've done...so I know I missed alot. How much will the throttle change the numbers?

Dunno!

But 100psi bouncing on both rotors is pretty good.
