Right, Blake,

I noticed the dropped digit in my earlier e mail to you.  Also I used the 10700 rpm in Lynnn's example

Good approach to the calculation by the way.

It is not wrong I just dropped a digit of the end of the big number.
Here is the corrected numbers:

12A  Pports can do 310 HP at 10,700 RPM at .667

If the .667 is BSFC then start with that.
density of air at sea level 15C = .0765 lbs/cf
air/fuel = 12

.667 bsfc x 310hp is 206.77 lbs/hr fuel

206.77lbs x 12 = 2481.24 lbs/hr air

2481.24 lbs/hr  /  60min/hr = 41.354 lbs/min

(41.354 lbs/min)  / (.0765 lbs/cf) * (1728 ci/cf) = 93411 ci /min

(934113ci/min) / (10000 rev/min) = 93.41 ci/rev

1300cc / (2.54cm * 2.54cm * 2.54cm)/ci = 79.33 ci volume

93.41ci / 79.33ci = 1.1774 = 117.74 % VE
