Hi guys,

Does anyone know what the piston compression should be on a 3.0L V6 engine???

No... but the general rule about compression is not if it is high or low, but if it is the same for all cylinders.

was just wondering if anyone had done one and what the results were?

Haynes says 12 to 15 bar (174 to 218 psi), max difference between any two cylinders 1 bar (15 psi).

Autodata says 12-15 bar.
