Interesting - I would have thought theat HP would be a function of the area of the piston surface i.e. a D squared function. Also interesting is the value of C for 2 cycle and 4 cycle - in spite of a 2 cycle having a power stroke every revolution ( 100% different from a 4 cycle) , the value of C is only about 30% different.
