Its a compression tester and will tell you what different pistons will do in your engine.
You can put ITR Rods and Pistons in your LS, but the piston will go out of your the top of your block. W/ LS Rods and ITR Pistons you have a 11.12 Compression Ratio and the pistons stay in the block.
And you dont need vtec, Vtec is so you can get good fuel econemy and power, If you want power get put in good cams into your ls and attach a better transmission (b16 or gsr) and start putting vtec losers in their place.

Mmm... be careful about saying stuff like this. We don't want to turn into D-series.org "VTEC is for emissions" LOL LOL. I totally get what you're saying. But I think it's more concise to say VTEC is a standard cam and a racing cam combined into one. Great for a daily driver, but if it's a dedicated race car, you don't care about idle quality or emissions so you can just eliminate VTEC and install the racing cam. Same thing as being in VTEC permanently.
