Default is there a rev limiter in the rsx-s?

hey guys i need some help. i was wondering if all rsx-s stop at 5500 rpms. at the line my bro reved my car to launch, but it seemed like the car was cutting off or the limiter kickin in at 5500rpms in first gear. after the launch it is fine and goes all the way to 83oo rpms, i was just wonderin if anyone else had this happen to them. if u can give me any information before i take it in and get it checked out, i dont want to take it in for nothing. thanx guys

Its got a wheel speed sensor that won't let the engine rev past 5500 when the wheels aren't moving.

it's the other way around, it won't rev in first. but in neutral it does. Only if the car isn't moving though.

i dont know what its called OBD3 or what, but its completely different than Integra ECUs.

RSX ECUs are said to be flash programmable (good) but not compatible with older ECUs (bad).
