The good thing about "M" mode on a Tip is you can't over rev it as it will shift into the next gear at red line. My '99 has the LN IMS bearing and LN recommends keeping revs up above 2K RPM even when cold. I usually shift, depending on conditions, around 2.4K-2.6K RPM until the car is warmed up, then depending on road conditions and situation, will take it all the way. I've tracked my car several times and drag raced it at Sears Point and never done damage to either trans or motor. The car was made to drive hard and doing so with a Tip is much safer than using a stick where you can over rev and cause damage.
