A leak down tester will only tell you how fast air is escaping past the
rings.....

A compression gauge tells you the balance between cylinders....

I use a compression gauge  after a motor is broke in so I can track the
engine wear.. the same can be done by monitoring engine vacuum and setting
up a guide line to follow...
daily humidity,-temp ambient and engine temp. consistent use of same weight
engine oil..ect.

One can get as technical as you want...

Start the car ..mash the gas ..have fun....It will go or blow.
