No offense, but "doesn't feel like it" is not a good test. Best way to find out is dyno it. It will cost you like 40 bucks for two pulls, more if you want an AFR read-out. But that will tell you if the car is putting down proper amount of power.

All you have to do is take out the spark plug and screw in the tester. Then crank the engine and it will tell you the compression.
EDIT -- forgot to say disable the fuel pump before doing that.
