What are good leakdown numbers on a fresh factory spec rebuild?

What are good leakdown numbers on a fresh factory rebuild? I am asking because I have my 80k+ mile motor that I've put rings and bearings in and it has 5% across the board. I am wondering how much lower a fresh rebuild is in leakdown. I am thinking of going with a 342 stroker, but might go ahead and bore it anyways, it'd be nice to not have to do that since I could install the stroker kit with motor in car [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img].

Has it run long enough to seat the rings? If no, the leakdown will get better once the rings seat. But for 80,000 mile bores with just new rings, 5% isnt all that bad. Tim.

It has been ran long enough for them to seat, they are plasma moly so I guess they could take a little bit longer than normal.
