(Quote Mr-Roadster) I also tested the rev limiter in my driveway. it's not the sort of limiter I expected. It just jumps up to 4,000rpm and holds there like a crosshair. sounds good, but doesn't have the bounce in it like I expected. (This is in neutral or Park). I guess I had expected it to limit at the redline.

Tha't not your rev limiter. If the front wheels aren't turning, you engine is held, by the computer, at 4,000 rpm. You have to remove a fuse (# 17 I think) to go higher.
Found that out on the first dyno run with my manual tranny.
If your car is stock, Rev limit is about 5750 RPMs.
