Message	most compression gauges are not accurate. Its more the consistancy that you are really looking for. I have a generic 'napa' compression gauge at my home that I use, and mine reads right around ~140 on all 6, When using the snap on gauge from my work it reads ~125 on all 6. I talked to our snap on rep, and he said this is very common for all compression gauges. boostpro.net
