if you did boost it, it would probably pop in about 2months. i havent done a comp. test on my, 185k, d16z6 but im guessing its about the same as yours and people tell me it will blow a few weeks later if i boost.

They are fine for a daily driver. Your power is just not there due to the very low compression. If your car isnt smoking or anything, it should be fine to drive, it just wont produce the same power it is supposed to.

Yea the engine doesnt smoke at all except when i am shiftin at high revs and the thing that gets me is that my comp is low and my leak down test is pretty good....WHERES IT ALL GO!

Your leakdown test isn't "pretty good," it's driveable. You want under 10 on all cylinders, that is the goal. It is driveable, but I suggest if it is smoking at high rpm don't do it anymore. Did you bend any valves. I just did my compression test: 210, 140, 190, 210. I have bent valves I believe. My cam timing was off and I believe I bent valves. Try and figure out where all of the s**t is going, then fix it. Drive the car nice, keep the rpms under 4500 hopefully. Good luck.
