Cylinder Compression?

When doing a compression test on the cylinders, what should the psi be per cylinder?

TIA

I have heard....
160-180 normal for a street car
190-210 for an agressive street car

My car was tested 4 weeks go and yeilded 205-215. Really need more info such as cam specs and compression ratio.

I can't really make and educated guess but I would assume 180psi.
