- does it very from engine size and configuration?

Thank you.
About 7 or 8 months ago I had to calculate it. it depends on the air pressure, altitude, moist level in the air and many more variables including the engine size, air filter and many many more. AFAIK it is almost impossible to calculate, which was also in my report.

Best is offcourse not too hot and not too cold
