KISS primary tube volume / size

so to maximize exhaust scavenging at partial load / cruise

it looks like the primary tube volume should be about equal to the volume of 1 cylinder's displacement or a little more .
and the primary pipe diameter should be the size that allows the flow to be around 240 fps

( as per the formula s posted already )

AT the rpm that optimum efficiency is sought at

but this does not take into account the reduced VE that will be there at partial load ....
is this resolved in the value of "X" you said to ask about ?

and what about the collector ?
