Default rev limiter at 4k? help please!!

I just got a 90 rs interga w/b18a1 boosted. It has a j1 tranny that is trashed, so I havent taken it for a ride because I still havent got'n a new tranny..... hope I can get one tonight if this guy calls me back. Well today we were going through the car looking for any leaks, checking hoses, brakes, and when i reved the car up it has a rev limit at 4k? What could this be?

yeah its wide open launch control, so you can come off the line wide open. and soon as you gt 1mph, it revs all the way out.
