Yep, even 60psi on every bounce of both rotors. I suppose it depends on the compression tester. If some push valves vented more then others, it would leak more during a cycle. Just guessing of course. I also remembered that I didn't do the test right after driving. The car sit for about 3-4 hours and cooled down quite a bit. From my readings, this can make a big difference in pressure.
Hot & cold starts are excellent. No issues at all. Idles smooth and pulls around 15inches of vacuum.
According to Kevin Landers, it's good...
Rotary Resurrection home of the budget rebuild.
8) observe the needle bounces. You should see 3 in succession without skips, even bounces, in roughly the 30-35psi range.
9)let out on the valve now, and let the tester reach an overall compression value for all 3 faces(highest of 3 will be displayed). 115+ is like new, 100-115 is healthy, 90-100 is getting weak(1 year or less in most cases) below 90 could blow at any moment.

Tuning scheduled for the 1st. Car is running strong with ICE cold intake temps. Saw continual mid 30's temps with an occasional 28C.
I actually had a nice surprise while driving the other day. 100 ft from my driveway I press the clutch to shift and hear a loud pop as the pedal goes to the floor. In classic FD style I figured my clutch arm snapped and I would be pulling the tranny this weekend with parts overnighted from Ray. Well, turns out my Advance Auto slave cylinder's piston end does not quite fit in its place. It slipped out and popped like Vanilla Ice. No parts injured. Just a simple swap to an OEM part.
Paint coming soon, and 25psi on the horizon.
I also want to thank Ben from Rotary Extreme. He recently sent me the ducting patterns for my vmount. Another great example of a vendor taking care of customers over 2 years after purchase. Lovin it bro.

Good results today. 454whp 390ft/lbs at 23psi. Car feels awesome. Not bad for 90F ambient temps 
A new CHRA may be in the cards still. Bearings may be dragging a little. I plan to keep checking everything and run it as is for now. Overall, I am pleased.
