Well, first I will ask, why are you revving it in park??  This isn't really a test that shows anything.  You may have a spark plug or bad wire that is causing a misfire under load, as my '96 Monte Carlo did.  A tune-up fixed this.  Or it may just be that a sensor is malfunctioning.  If you don't have a check engine light coming on, I would suspect the spark plugs and wires.  Revving the engine that high regularly isn't really a great idea in any case.
