Cylinder compression #'s on a 3.8 turbo block?

Just got this car and i'm gonna do a compression test on it tommorrow... wondering what the cylinder pressure "should" be on a 81 3.8L V6 Turbo engine?

Thanks, Gordon

Did a full 6 cylinder compression test... seems to average about 135-140psi all accross so it's still a good motor.
