Default RSX Rev Limit?

I'm trouble shooting an RXS S rev limit situtaion in my built from scratch autocross car. Engine will not rev past 5400 RPM. My VSS drive broke in the transmission. Now I wonder if ALL RSX S have a rev limit of 5400 when the car is NOT moving. Anyone want to check that out for me. Slowly rev your RSX S up to 5600 (in neutral) and see if the revs stop at 5300-5400. I'm not trying to blow up your motor, just tryiong to sort out a problem.

Yeah the RSX has a rev limit when it is not moving. It stops at 54oo rpm. At first I had thought something was wrong with my car then I started searching and found the info. Well good luck with the tracks.
