Interesting site, Mike.

I think you may not have divided by the factor 2n
as needed in the formula:
Z = (N**2) S (1+ 1/(2n) ) / 2189

Instead, I think you left the "n" on top as in:
Z = (N**2) S (1+ (1/2)n ) / 2189

Using the first formula you get:

7000 rpm @ 144/86.4mm -> 1.667 ~> 109,400 ft/sec^2
7000 rpm @ 144/95.5mm -> 1.508 ~> 112,100 ft/sec^2
7000 rpm @ 150/95.5mm -> 1.571 ~> 111,000 ft/sec^2

Note that (111,000 ft/sec^2) / ((32ft/sec^2)/g)  = 3470 g's
of acceleration.
