Believe the 4.6 is electronically restricted to 115mph(?) If so, there must be a limiter in there somewhere...

Okay - my statement above might be wrong as this is what rangerovers.net quotes for the 4.6...
0-60mph 10.0 sec (9.5 Motor Trend Nov 99),
8.2 sec (Callaway Model, Wheels of Fortune Nov 98)
Standing 1/4 mile 17.5 sec @ 80.4 mph (17.2 @ 78.6, Motor Trend Nov 99)
Top Speed 124 mph (factory brochure). 121.8 mph (Auto Motor & Sport) Please email me if you have info
Sorry...

ah but speed limiter is different from revs.
I also have a Chevy Camaro which limits revs at 3500-4000 at P or N - put it in drive and when moving it will rev all the way up to 6000.
I'm talking about a rev limiter in place when the box is in P or N

Simple just put your foot down hard and hold it there. Have a notebook and pen handy. Write down the observed RPM just before the engine blows up. If it stays at 5500 and does not blow up there is a rev limiter. If goes above 5500 and blows up there is not. The note will be a reminder of the speed not to rev your new engine to in future. See so easy when you give it some thought.
