Need help with stationary rev limiter!

I have been searching and searching and cannot figure out how to adjust the stationary rev limiter on my 2014 ralliart. I have the gst basemap with boost pill and when I try to adjust the rev limiter in ecuflash then write it back to the ecu it doesn't work. Basically if I am in neutral or park my car will rev really high and I want it to be limited to about 5k or so. Please help!

Wait... what? When the car isn't in gear it idles really high or the rpms just climb real quick all the sudden?

Any other mods to the car?

Sorry I mean if I rev it then the rpms climb too high. Yes I know I shouldn't be free revving but I only do it once and a while and I've heard other ralliarts rev in neutral and it sounds like they have a 2 step. Which I like. Mods are:
Evo x bov
K&N drop in filter
Mishimoto evo x intercooler
High flow axleback Exhaust
AMS Boost pill
GST 93oct basemap with boost pill

No, you should not "free-rev" it.

Take hand-weights (~4 lb each) and shadow box. Punch out to the full extension of your arm and snap back. As hard and as fast as you can.

That is the limiting design stress (longitudinal) the rods see at just past top dead center.
Is it really worth it to just 'do it'?

Thank you for the explanation but I use 5 lb weights when I train and a 50 lb weight vest. then do 20 burpees in between.
as far as my car goes I realize what I am doing and I'm pretty sure revving up to 3-4k is not going to do that much damage. The evo x mr uses a similar idea (stationary rev limiter) with it's launch control. All I'm asking is how to adjust the stationary rev limiter in ecuflash because it is not defined correctly.

Try turning off traction control. I'm not risking my engine to try it, but on the Evo, it limits it to 5500 rpm.

Changing the stationary rev limiter does nothing. It can't be changed within the ECU. It needs to be modified within the TCU as I believe.

The other Ralliarts you heard doing it probably have the Evo S-Sport mode.
