agreed, the key is redline rpm. a gas engine will typically flow more air than a diesel engine of equal displacement primarily because the diesel turns lower rpms. Also, keep in mind VE often decreases as rpm increases but by assuming 100% theoretical at redline you get an over estimated flow so you are sure not to select an IC that will be too restrictive.
