Default New pistons New Rings

Replaced the pistons, rings and rod bearings, inspected the valves which appeared to be reasonable. How long should I run the engine on the test stand to run in the rings and expect a reasonable increase in the compression. Currently I have had the engine running 45 minutes and the compression is consistently 55 psi.. Which I consider pretty poor.
