We use 55%-65% nitro on these engines for drag racing. That will be a bad combination! The practical RPM range of a Virtus(the current engine I run) is 6000-46,800rpms. If you add 15,000rmps, you are bringing this engine to 63,800 RPMs!

I am not an expert nor an engineer but something don't add up here. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm all about learning.
