2x and 3x mix, what pressure does it produce?

I keep on hearing different info on how much psi a 2x mix and a 3x mix creates. Lucky13 produced 210psi with a 3x mix, and someone else said it produces 250, and i was wondering does it vary for each cannon or is their always the same outcome of pressure, give or take a few psi.

Well it obviously matters what kind of gun, the smaller the pipe the more compact the combustion, in theory would equal more pressure...
Don't use a 3x mix with 200 psi clear 2" Sch 80 pipe

ya, I'm not going to use it as a hybrid, just use it at a regular 1x mix.

Frogy, if the pipe is smaller, there would be less fuel in there to equal the same ratio, so the size of the combustion compared to the size of the gun would be exactly the same as a big gun. I hope you can understand that.
