...just as there's too small a diameter, likewise, there's a too large a diameter.

...the goal is to optimize the diameter for the engine RPM range you want...and, many people forget that Helmholtz tuning, is harmonic repeating, thus something designed for 6,000 RPM will tune again at 3,000 RPM, but not as efficiently (only about 3-5% loss).
