I didn't think they *had* a rev limiter. I've never noticed one on my '97 450. And I've revved that to 6K on occasion.
My '98 450 certainly does ... a couple of 'oops' moments in second have caught me out though i was looking at the road at the time and don't actually know where the limiter kicks in.
AIUI it does vary between cars a bit (really? no surprise there!) and also some rev counters are quite inaccurate so this adds to the confusion.
Yep, they certainly do have a rev-limiter, but it could well be set way too low.....

I have recently had my 4.0L chipped by Mark Adams and tuned on the rolling road. .... Mark said the Standard Landrover chip was strangling the engine above 5,000 rpm and that it was real screamer and wanted to go. So unusually he moved the rev limit up to 6,700, remapped it and it absolutely flies. Peak power come in at 5,655 and power and torque hang on well past 6,000 ....

'Tis not the same car/engine/ECU mapping as the 4.x
the bible kept refering to 4.x I thought it was a printing error were does 4.x come from? what does it mean?

It's a shorthand way of lumping together the 4.0, 4.3 and 4.5 engines...
...similarly Win9x is used to imply either Windows 95 or Windows 98.
