Good info
Didn't know it was bad to lug the engine though. Yes, I understand the gearing disadvantage and poor gas mileage. But if you're not looking to accelerate fast, is it really hurting anything? If so, what specifically?
I like my exhaust note when I roll into the throttle pretty heavy around 2K RPMs. I'm not going WOT or anything, but I am deliberately giving it more throttle than is necessary.
