I'm not actually able to reproduce your numbers. We take atmospheric density, which is 1.2 kg/m3, and want to have a velocity jump of 100 m/s, or about Mach 0.3. If V2 >> V1, then the pressure jump would be 6,000 Pa. That's about a factor of 1000 smaller than your answer, and it would be exactly 1000 had I used an atmospheric density of 1300, as you did.
Actual atmospheric pressure is, as you say, almost exactly 105Pa. Assuming that you had vacuum on the other side, then, you could get a velocity of 1700 m/s, or about Mach 5.
