pH is the number you should be the most concerned with since it is the most difficult to alter. An optimal pH is around 6 - 6.8 (slightly acidic) for your soil. Anything else can be altered easily with nutrient additions.
I look more nuetral, about a 7 I guess, waiting on the results of the other 3 now, which tube is whick for the NPK, I have orange , blue and purple ( Ferry Morris kit)
Sulfur will help lower the soil pH. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can all be changed with additives.
