I know this is going to sound crazy, but mine was running sluggish. I turned up the ALDA and it seemed better, but not great. I have never done a compression test - your numbers are EXCELLENT by the way. I changed to synthetic 5w40 and noticed easier cold start. I drove it 10 miles and happened to notice a swirling fast puff of blue smoke at hwy speed at lasted a second. After this, the thing takes off like a rocket, compared to what it was. I have no idea what happened, but I put 1000 miles on it since and no problems. Good luck. I hope everything stays great for you and yours.
