The coomon/proper term is "shade tree" mechanic... 
Street mechanic just don't sound right. Almost too professional, not allowing for beer...

Well at least you know now not to rev in Park/Neutral. Even though I told my brother he shouldn't, he continued to do so. But his car didn't have a rev limiter, and saw 6000rpms every time.

Yes the PCM has a 4000 Rpm rev limiter... And a 6200 Rpm fuel cut off, thats if you ever get there tho..
No point in revving to 4k anyhow...
I think the 3.1 Chevy'* were the earliest GM'* to get the limiter... The 60* V6'* would rev too easy... and some of the * Owners * were blowing them up..
Over the years the controls have become more adaptive..
So Revving to 4k is not good... Yes GM installed a Rev Limiter on all bonnevilles 92+

There are differences in the model years... I think its more related to the PCM..
My 91 has no rev limiter... Just a fuel cutoff.... Don't ask me how I know this
And I wasn't free revving it

Apparently at above a certain speed, the rev limiter is disabled in my car when in neutral. Ive discovered this accidentally a couple times, such as when rolling past friends and them not knowing its me. Nothing quite like a 6500rpm free-rev to scare the crap out of you.
