3.8 rev limiter question

[redmaro]

I went to take a look at a Camaro 3.8 1998. When I reved the engine in parking it only reved to 4,000 rpms, is this normal?

Yes, it will only rev so high when not under a load.

Say hello to the Park rev. limiter...it'll only go that high when the car is out of gear. The regular one is substantially higher

Yeah I know, but it felt weird that it only went to 4,000 rpms. Thanks
