Question Compression problem?

Hey Guys,

My '96 Saleen is having HP trouble. I went to the track today and the best the car did was 14.6 @ 102 (w/nitrous and 15.18 @ 93mph (w/o nitrous).

My question is regarding the compression. A few weeks ago, my dad and I ran a compression test and the results are the following:

Spark Plug 1: 90 / 120
Spark Plug 2: 90 / 120
Spark Plug 3: 80 / 115
" " 4: 100/ 130
Plug 5: 90/ 120
Plug 6: 90/ 120
Plug 7: 90/ 120
Plug 8: 90 / 120

Now, i'm not the mechanic in the family but I think the 2nd one is cranking but hell if I know..
My dad says those #s are fine but my brother and his engineering buddies say that the #s are very low. They say that a stock GT have a compression of 150+. Please, let me know if something is wrong with my 'baby' and what I can do about it. Are new heads in my future?

Thanks,
Mike
