Dynamometers are the only tool that can tell the difference in one build vs another, that's why I asked this question. Everything else is subjective.

Whats needed is a competition run similar to the Engine Masters Competition. Builders square off following a set of rules who then build Flathead engines their way then all engines are tested at the same location and on the same dyno to see which engine comes out on top. After all engines have been tested the winning engine is taken apart for all to see exactly how it was done. I can see it now since it only takes me about 8 months to build a record setting combination i figure building for this type of competition would only take about 12 months.
