I'm just pleased as punch that you're "spreading your wings" in to the mechanical side of your Cobra (that can be as much fun as driving it). Since you have a hydraulic cam, it's possible that your rev limiter was set by the engine installer at a low number, maybe even 5000RPM or so. You can't miss it when you hit the rev limiter in an MSD unit. It's as obvious as the nose on your face -- it's like kidney stone pain or trying to go through a revolving door that is securely locked down. I mean it; it's that obvious. That being said, crawl under the dash and look at the side of your Digital 6 box. You will see two sets of dials. Only one of them will be important to you (I can't imagine you have the blue line enabled for your 2 step limit). Look at the dial on the right and read the little pointers in the middle of the circular clock for both 1000's and 100's and that will tell you your rev limit. Here's a pic from the manual:
