since it was only a short time period, i doubt....i really doubt u messed up anything, and besides, if it was really bad, i think fuel should cut off right?

Bouncing off the rev limiter doesnt damage anything, thats what the rev limiter is for, preventing you from damaging anything

Its just a fuel cut off.
