Has anyone ever seen or heard of in-cylinder high speed pressure data (such as Kistler probe data) for high power diesel engines (such as a tractor pull engine)?

This page says 6,000 psi for top fuel. Link

I'm thinking this maybe better?

And best of all it doesn't put up a cookie box.
I wish I could use some Ideas I have for the tractor pull engine crowd.

When your cylinder heads, pistons, and rods all have a 15sec service life then 10,000HP sounds realistic.

It is common for pistons, rods, valves, springs, and keepers to see some of them damaged after one run.
You just hope that they don't actually fail.
The block and crank are the big ticket items.

Incipient knock would get above that 100-200 psi. While calibrating, I once saw knock peak at 3000psi
