The rev limiter behavior I frequently see is slow takeoff rpms up to 4k then giving 100% throttle up to redline and holding throttle at 100% through second and third. Obviously you are going pretty fast by then, but luckily my commute has lots of metering lights and on ramps. It just feels nice to grab those extra few hundred rpms up to the limiter; it's like 'stretching' the legs of the engine..for lack of a better expression
What oil are you using? I hope it's 'super duper stuff'!
