I've yet to read an article by an engine expert that speaks of anything below 3,000 as being beneficial to this car on this particular issue.


No particular reason. I'm actually just thinking around 3000rpm. I find it very hard to believe that running the car at a constant 3000rpm+ is good for the car. It may be better for the IMSB but I question if you are not stressing other key components of the engine.

I will admit that my car background is mainly American muscle cars (only owning 2 previous Porches before the Box) but running most engines at + 3000rpm constantly would not be healthy in the long run.
