Compression test , bad engine ?
How would an engine behave if the left bank showed 190-195 psi , and the right 175-180 ?
Would it make the engine feeling rough when accelerating ? Newly built engine (3500 miles) .
I did the test engine cold , and am about to tear it apart due to cracked head or bad headgasket , (airbubbles in the cooling system) .
Leakdown test didnt reveal any bubbles .

If it's that consistent, then more likely, you have 2 different head castings, with different chamber sizes. Check the casting numbers.
I doubt it would be noticeable while driving though.
