Default Rev Limiter Question

So I just got done doing the seafoam treatment to my engine and now I have a question about the rev limiter. After I let the car sit for about 10 minutes I started it back up and let the engine clean itself out. Not as much smoke as others have said after using the seafoam but I just took that as a sign that there was not too much carbon buildup in the engine. I only have a little over 33000 miles on the car. Anyway, while I was letting the smoke clear I was revving the engine and it would not let me go past 5000 rpm while I was in park. When I took it out for a drive and went WOT it went all the way to 6500 rpm no problem. Is it normal to not be able to rev the engine over 5000 rpm in park or neutral or do I have a problem? I had not noticed this before I did the seafoam treatment so that is why I am asking now. Mabye someone could check and see if their car does the same thing. I have an 03 AV6 Coupe. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I posted this question in V6P also just in case anyone notices.
TIA
