Our (Flometrics) approach is to start with the 68mm plates and work on
getting a 20% flow increase by inlet shaping alone. If we cant we will step
up plate dia by 1mm at a time (if not a 1/2mm) until we get a 20% increase.
Im thinking a 35% increase is possible without increasing the plate
diameter...
