Hang on Clintsy,
Keep in mind (on the Fuel Ratio Anayl) that once you get the atmospheric issues fixed for your altitude, you'll be ok there. Those Meters are pretty expensive, and have very limited use. But, if we're just talking abut a Compression Gage, that's not all that much, and you'll probably want to check your compression every year or two. Your choice though.

Yea I can't find a fuel ratio meter for under 150$ and that's way out of my budget for a gauge so I'm dropping that idea....
I borrowed a compression tester from a friend and it read 135psi for cylinders # 1,3,4,5,7 and 8....#s 2 was 140 psi and #6 was between 135 and 140
Is this good?

That pressure range & variance doesn't sound bad, though I couldn't find any immediate reference on a search. So, I think you're ok there.
On the Fuel Ratio Tester, keep looking around for a rental or borrow, maybe even a single test at a shop wouldn't put you out too much ?
