OK Lynn, what's the guesstimate for a 44.. P-port intake ( single rotor) at 7,500 using the RX8 high compression rotor with 3mm seals. And would I get more with a bigger port?

Ok, looks like all the bugs are out of the math and it looks like our PP 12A
gets around 120%Ve.  That corresponds to a number I had hear before, but
nice to have an example to support it.

Thanks Lynn, Blake and Bob

A 13B Pport with just a hint of boost (2 or 3 pounds) up to 12,000 feet would make one heck of an airplane engine.
 
The advantage of the Pport is it's near lack of reversions. In the side port, the flat side of the rotor keeps showing up in the port entrance. In the Pport only the pointy end of the rotor crossing the port, and the lower half of that is connected to the low pressure from the open exhaust port and header.
