A 4" tile has an interior area of 12.571 sq in, a 6" tile has an interior area of 28.285 sq in and an 8" tile has an interior area of 50.286 sq in so a 6" will handle more than twice the volume of a 4" and an 8" will handle a little more than 4 times the volume of a 4".

Talk to an engineer that knows how to lay sewer lines, he can give you the slope data. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
