While taking nothing away from your post ( re: the relatively amazing speed at which things happen)... let's look closely on one of the numbers, however.

At 6400 ( engine) rpm.... the dizzy rotates at 3200 rpm...right ?...since there is 180 degree movement there for every full ( 360 degree) engine rotation.

So.... wouldn't that be 3200 "firings-per-minute"... or 53.3 fps ???

Oh wait... is that "per cylinder"...and now we multiple by 6?...to get an overall 320 fps ( firings-per-second).... ??

Hmmm... Let me mull that one over too for a moment, I think I got that wrong, too !!! ....

EDIT:..I think that's correct... 320fps...not bad for a single coil ignition system!!
