considering the upvote to your comment, there is at least another HN reader who thinks that there are 60K+ rpm reciprocating engines and who don't know what detonation sensor, octane number or cavitation are about... Hope you know your Python better :)

Heh, good catch. Should have said 1000s of times per minute.

60k is 3x the RPM of an F1 motor.
