125-130 is acceptable but a little low, depends on your location to as I stated, where is your location??.......how many miles on motor?? 100 is the bare min for combustion to occur efficiently.

SO YOUR at or close to sea level, I'd expect around 150ish for a freshly done stock compression 5.0 at that level
