I measured my compression yesterday, and the results were:

1-110 psi
2-120 psi
3-120 psi
4- 95 psi

I'm guessing number 4 may have something to do with the ungodly amounts of blowby and somewhat poor idle? I have heard they must all be at least 75% of the highest reading, but not sure how true that is. Is is time for some thick walled 92's or are these ok(ish)?

You have not determined your problem so thick walled 92 may not fix it.
Squirt oil in # 4 and retest. Ideally you need a leak down test. But first you need to check your valve adjustment to see if a valve is hanging open or there is some other obvious issue.
