Although "off-topic", I "clicked" on your video, but there wasn't much there (13 seconds).

It seems like a lot of effort for not much return; Joe Abbin in Arizona was able to dyno 335 out of a Weiand (I think) supercharged 284" flathead. I also think he ran 13's in the quarter with it. (I also remember a guy who ran 12's with a 265" injected flathead of his own design in a steel full-bodied '32 coupe.

We need more specific information. This may go nowhere with the rest of the guys here, but I am interested in wringing the last bit of performance out of a flathead, no matter how you do it.
