Compression & Leak Down Test Results

I have the following numbers for my 1998 2.5L Boxster that is for all intents and purposes a spec Boxster race car (no engine modifications). Would appreciate any insights as to the meaning of these numbers. I have a suspicion that the engine is not exactly healthy. But would it affect how well the car accelerates? Car was dyno'd with 2 runs at 178.74 and a run at 180.58 but with stock exhaust so horsepower numbers might actually be within range of other spec Boxsters if it had a full race exhaust set up.
