Did you do all the prep stuff?  Including blocking the throttle wide open
(vise grips on the linkage works well) and disabling the fuel pump?

I did a hasty check on my new SE-R last month, and forgot to hold the
throttle open.  I was disappointed with the low readings, till I corrected
my mistake (Doh!) and they all went up 25 - 30psi.
