I think it should be capable. A quick search of Arduino tachometers shows people recording more than 20krpm reliably. Should be gently caress-all code to make it happen, too.

Please share any work on that Rev. I'd be interested in building something similar when I rebuild my Bantam.

This is looking really sweet. Keep the updates coming.

You could probably make some small revenue out of an affordable open source programmable CDI. The greybeards who are restoring bikes these days are more and more computer savvy because all the 70s/80s mainframe/telco/unix guys are reaching retirement age.
