The way I like to say it is:

Vnew              HPnew
---- = cubeRoot ( ----- )
Vold              HPold

          or

Vnew = Vold * cubeRoot ( HPnew / HPold )

     e.g.:

Vnew = 185 * cubeRoot ( 200 / 180 )
     = 185 * cubeRoot ( 1.1111... )
     = 185 * 1.0357...
     = 191.61

Colyn said

Is that cube root (1+ (delta HP/HP))
or ((1+delta HP)/HP)

Pretty sure the intent is to take the cube root of a per centage change in HP, so that would be cube root (1 + (20/180))  not cube root (21/180).  The former gives about 1.0357 or a gain in speed of about 3.57%.  The latter would give about .4886 or a huge net loss in speed.
