i say do a compression test on at least 1 accessible cylinder just to see what kind of numbers it will show. for all you know youre running like 8:1 and you do have a smogger. or its one of those goodwrench truck engines...

A compression test will not tell you compression ratio. It will tell you cranking cylinder pressure. It can hint at a static ratio but it's not definitively related.
