Jamie,
I have 2 recipes, one for white porcelain cone 5-7 casting slip (electric
kiln) and one for cone 10-11 (for gas or electric). Let me know which one
you want. They're from the book "Hands In Clay" (pages 412-413) if you
happen to have it. If not I'll type out the instructions as well.

If you could let us know your firing temp. I'm sure you'll get some
formulas. I have a ^10 porcelain & stoneware that we use here, and a couple
of ^06 and ^5-6 recipes. If you need help in mixing, let me know, there are
some published directions in a couple of catalogs that I have and I also
have our own directions that I could fax or mail to you.
