And this is his webpage that summarized it all:

The SuperBusa thread is also good ... real bench test done by Purolator. Not a comparison, but shows that PureOnes do flow well:

There really isn't a good, all-encompassing, unbiased test. We kinda have to piece together the info we get from the manufacturers with stuff from other sources. Sometimes Amsoil will subject a batch of filter to a test but they don't always do the filters we'd like to see the most.... they do the ones that make their filters look the best. Until we can get about $25K together to do a comprehensive filter evaluation using industry-standand testing methods and equipment, we're using flashlights instead of the room lights.

+1 As far as general conclusions drawn based his testing, r_r's work better than anything else I've seen posted here. In fact, river_rat's conclusion that no endcap type filters like Toyota oem tend to be relatively inefficient which was unknown at that time, was later confirmed in the 2011 Amsoil ISO testing of some OEM filters including said Toyota oem. Imo, that's fairly impressive. His other results generally align with other published ISO filter test ratings.
Other dissections with some 'testing' have been posted but their results were/are not reliable because some results and conclusions are directly disputed by ISO 4548-12 testing, which is the oil filter industry test standard for efficiency.
