The factory rev limiter may be set to 4000 RPM when the car is not in gear. When I was in high school, the school's auto tech garage had a 2003 Malibu that did the exact same thing. Your friend must have a tune that changes the limiter.

and thanks for everyones input but my next question is if your car is tuned its supposed to be set to like 6000 thats what ive read and gathered. so is it possible that my car really isnt tuned after all? or does anyone know anything about that....im not looking to jack my engine up and i know that the limiter is there jw does it change with a tune or no..if so guess i got screwed over...how would i know if i didnt

The park limiter can be edited with a tune. Normally, most shops are setting them to 6750 or 6800 when in gear, but leaving the park limiter alone as it is not necessary or helpful in a performance aspect to modify that parameter.
Remember that tuning a car does not make more power, it only improves the engine's efficiency which is where the power gain comes from. |
