As mentioned maybe in free air but on the track no engine is comming beyond the 50,000rpm. The only one who did was the Orion CRF Wasp, it needed a light gearing to come alive reaching the same speeds as others on a heavy gearing. Regarding the designer of that engine it has runned 55.000 rpm on a testbench.
