Getting my compression test tomorrow

As per forum recommendation at a Mazda dealer. I'm happy because I feel like a good car owner, but what should I expect?

You should expect to see 3 values for each rotor, and crank RPM reading at which they were taken.

There is chart on post #32 that wil give you all the information you want to know about compression tests. If you want, I am sure you can post your numbers here as well and people can tell you if it is good or bad.
