[ST] Strange effect at top speed

I think I found the top end on my bike this past weekend. Now that I've
been there, I need to back off I suppose. Thinking about the 17T change to
help me keep it down.
Something interesting happened at top end. When I got there the rev limiter
hit the wall and made the bike almost seem like it backfired. This has
happened before but at about 3mph slower speed. I was in 5th, I believe. I
know what the rev limiter is supposed to feel like at sane speeds, as I've
hit it a number of times in various gears, but this thing happening at top
speed is strange. No ill effects, just like something said "back off 10 mph
or 1,000 rpms"). I did not have another stretch of road to do it in and had
had enough anyway.
Any ideas?
