D=venturi diameter, in millimeters

C=cylinder displacement, in cubic centimeters
n=RPM at peak power/1.000

ran the numbers in the equation John provided and here are the results - I think "n" has to be RPM/1000 to work.

given a 7mm bore that I'm using, the K factor comes out to 0.74 which is mid range.(at 12,000 rpm)

the 7mm bore shows a rpm range of 8,000 to 15,400 given the K factor range provided....

As planned I'm going to prop down to see what effect that has...
