Yeah, maybe he means 1500 more RPM. 15000 would be a stretch from 45000.

Regarding the designer of that engine it has runned 55.000 rpm on a testbench.

Yeah the Nikasil coated Orion Wasp engines were very special! But they were very hard to tune! But I've never had another engine in .12 size compare to one of those.
