effect of compression pressure on HP?

ON my Miata, two weeks ago I ran a compression test. While its supposed to have about 190 psi it had from 125 to 159. A bit of oil raised that to from 150 to 180.

I am wondering if anybody has any dyno information on the loss of power this might translate to?
