are you doing a burnout? Save the burn out for drag tires if u are doing one, and like everyone else said id do a compression test, they are so easy on a 1jz, take no more than 1/2 an hour.

no i don't do burn outs. now if i do a compression test i want my compresion to be at 8.5 right? thats the stock compression isn't it?
you are thinking compression ratio.
You want your numbers to be around 160 on each cylinder. I am not 100% sure of the number off hand but it should be higher than 140 for sure. All 6 numbers should within 10% as well.
You want something like this
The gauge threads into a piece that threads into your spark plug hole.
You want to warm up the car first to operating temperature, let it cool down for ~2-5 mins, remove all 6 plugs, disable your ignition system, than start testing on number one.
You should hold the gas to the floor and let the engine crank over about 5-6 times on each cylinder.
Something like that.
