Intercept Plotting - it works, sorta

Read the link that I provided. It does a much better job at explaining the process and is usable for long distance intercepts. I think it is the best and simplest method for plotting intercepts. It expands greatly on the link you posted. Both are doing basically the same thing. I use it all the time and is second nature now.

To try and answer your question though: You basically multiply the target spped factor, but you have to multiply your speed for the intercept as well by the same factor.

Hope all this helps.
