This may seem like a crazy idea, but what about attaching the pitot tube line to the NACA vent line and doing a test flight without the airspeed indicator.  There must be a way to convert the airspeed indication to PSI to determine how much pressure the NACA is generating.  In my ES the pitot line runs through the left wingtip.
 
I don't know how stupid it would be to fly with no airspeed indicator on purpose.  I know I wouldn't want to do it.  But that might be an easy way to get an idea of the NACA pressure.
 
Maybe there's someone out there with dual pitot tubes.
