Dude, you could have saved yourself a lot of effort and money and just bought a WOT Box.

Add fuel near redline I'd guess. The popping is most likely raw fuel igniting in the cats or exhaust if there are no cats.

You can buy a Honda. j/k.

Rev limiter is your car telling you to stop before you blow it up.

Was it your exhaust that would produce the popping? I assume you have a M/T? When you used to hit the rev limiter to get this popping would you do it only in neutral or while driving?

I feel like you were just getting backfire? You were probably running rich is my guess.

You keep bouncing off the limiter, soon or later you're going to mess up your engine. The 3v's have known cam phaser problems, and you are just inviting disaster. But it is your car. Do as you wish, but just don't blame Ford for anything if something breaks. JMO

i dont see how you can change the rev limiter to make it sound like the Shelby limiter...
it not the same engine, bouncing the 3v limiter is soft, the engine just die on you for half a sec, it cut fuel n spark, the way the forged 5.4 Shelby do it is different and make it popping like you describ when you bounce the limiter without cutting all of the power, else then having a WOT BOX to launch on the pre-set limiter, i have no idea how you ever had this on barely stock gt.. i had popping sound coming from the exhaust when i let loose the gas at high rpm but that was from having no cats and no reasonator, awful sound if you ask me.
