Actually you can measure the air pressure and determine the compression if the rings and valves are in good condition. Just use a normal compression tester. Not highly accurate but could be good for determining if its 9:1 vs 11:1.
Since the cam can mess up the reading comparing the numbers with known good engines could still solve the problem.
I think the Nascar stuff only gives the displacement, not compression ratio.
And if the engines not in a car,, why NOT put a piston on TDC, compression and fill it with a light weight oil from a calibrated syringe?
