What is the OPTIMAL Stock Cylinder pressure?

I tested my #3 and #4 cylinders because they were easiest to get to with
the headers and saw 150psi and 130psi...
this motor has 120k miles
would I benefit greatly from a rebuild?
any estimated horsepower gains if any from fresh stock valve job, rings, .030 forged pistons?

you need to do all of them to see a picture or pattern with the compression differences.
