So you had only one pulse per revolution? Is this enough resolution?

I'm a bit wary of drilling my flywheel as it has already been lightned, and it
sits in front of me with only a few layers of sheetmetal between my 'nads and
flying death should it explode.

With an already somewhat unsafe maximum of 8000 rpm, I don't want to tempt
fate.

I can certainly do something else that doesn't involve drilling the flywheel,
but I think I will use the pully at the other end of the engine, as it is
quite cramped around the flywheel. The flywheel housing does provide nice
places to mount the sensor though.
