I recall 1100 fpm as a magic number, but it was related more to a structural limit, either you couldn't aspirate faster, or perhaps fatigue on the rod ends. Been 40 years too long since I was a hot rodder. You may be correct on the ignition limit as I recall there was no point going beyond a certain amount of advance.
