So I have a 2015 ram with headers and an exhaust so every now and then I want to rev the engine to show my buddies how the beast sounds . However when I stepped on the gas after putting vehicle into neutral (truck still moving) it seemed be limited .... can anyone shed some light on whether this is normal or not?

The truck as limiters on it, theres no reason to rev an engine high in neutral.

Computer controlled throttles maybe, won't let engine overrev.

Yeah that exactly what's happening. Only way to eliminate that is by a custom tune.

Even the rebel supercharged won't free rev. Nor will my friends Challenger RT. Though he did say if he gives it a quick stab first he can fool the machine and let it rip.

Turn off traction control, nail the gas, light 'em up and let you buds hear and see it scream like God intended. Sounds way better with a resistance load on the motor anyway.

Not 1st, 2nd or 3rd? No Trophy!
