Arduino input speed


hey guys,

i'm pretty new arduino.  in fact have yet buy arduino yet not sure of capabilities or find information.   i have watched arduino tutorials , familiar programming.  question is, input speed or in other words highest frequency of input signals 1 can input arduino?  trying build project attempt measure rpm of gasoline engine, rpms 20,000 revs per minute, in other words 334 input signals per second, , want arduino able calculate instantaneous rpm.  possible arduino? if not possible, there other approaches can calculate rpms of speed? other possible guidance? willing accept help! all!

use interrupt input.
clear total count.
start timer, every time interrupt occurs, have add 1 count.
after 1 second (1000ms), take count , multiply 60 , display result.
repeat.
or time 1/2 second (500ms) , multiply 30.
or time 1/5 of second (200ms) , multiply 12.
or time 1/10 of second (100ms) , multiply 6.
