Default Compression Numbers

Ok so I have asked this question several times and for some reason I can't get the answer. Or maybe no body here on this massive site knows the answer so I'll ask one more last time. Does anyone know the compression numbers on a stock Z06. With all the plugs removed and the motor spinning to the highest number. If not why would no body have performed this test to determine the health of the motor?

My 27k mile, stock LS6 was 180 psi in all of the holes... That test was cold with the throttle closed, all plugs out and spinning it over until it peaked.
