Default 2007 QC Hemi has a Rev Limiter at 4K? WTF?

I'm concerned. When I rev my engine with the tranny in park it halts at 4K as if it's being held back by a lack of 02 or a bad cylinder. Is this a govener on the limits that can be overcome with a Super Chip and Power Programmer or is this a possible mechanical issue?

This is so you don't do something stupid like over-rev your engine in neutral. Once you're in gear its different.

No, that tends to be....bad. Like parts scattering bad. Lets keep the inside stuff on the inside.

me too considering the truck is like only a day old and has barely begun break in. I know in the first thousand miles i try to keep rpms low and vary speed a bit then after that I start to open up into high rpm's a bit more often.

Why the hell would you rev the engine up to 4000 rpm in park anyway?

Could be a shallow gene pool to blame...

that a little shallow and rude man, and especially when that question has already been asked in a more polite way and yet to be answered
