Default strange compression readings

my new 428(2k miles) has been idleing a bit strange for a while now.

i conducted a compression check and here are the readings.

cylinders 1-4 180psi

cylinders

5) 165 dry 175 wet

6) 175

7) 165

8) 165.

i only tested number 5 with a leak down. will do 6-7-8 with iol later. but i expect the same reading as #5.

why the lower reading on drivers side? what should new cylinders read?

my mech said he is going to r/r engine and look into it. will also change cam from 108 to 110. anyone have any input???
