They are speed limited to 123 and 129mph IIRC due primarily to the driveline, two different speeds for the two different rear gears available 3.55 and 3.73. Since they are all automatics they are also rev limited if nothing else purely based on the speed limiter but they are definitely rev limited in any gear. No manufacturer in their right mind is going to make an engine that you can simply "blow up" by over reving it due to now limiter.
I am fascinated by the misunderstanding of CVPI's. On the power train side they are crownvics with a different tune, dual exhuast and lower rear gears. The real differences are in some of the suspension and all the interior modifications.

because the old style(60's & 70's) police interceptors had actual engine differences.
i know alot about the older style trucks and cars, but im clueless when it comes to all this car computer stuff...

There is a lot of information on the "P71" site as well as Sullivan Brothers Racing. P71 is the model designation for the Ford police cars.
