I just had some pro active work done [ IMS , RMS , Clutch , flywheel ] and would like to
start driving car a bit more vigorously not racing just letting it go occasionally

I have been shifting mostly between 3- 4k rpm's Have gone into 5k and felt more power
1st gear won't need too much higher than 3 k [ thats just my feel for it ]
2-5 would be more flexible rev wise

Dude, sorry to be insulting but you do know you bought a sports car? Don't drive it like grandpa (no offense, i'm a grandpa myself) but if I never wanted to go above 5k I would drive my wife's SUV.
There's also many threads that talk about IMS failure in cars that never get "driven" so you are not doing your engine any favors. Revving a car is not bad for it, don't slam the clutch and accelerate briskly and you and the car will be smiling.

I cruise at 3k. Non performance driving shift after 4k. With an S anything after 4k there is decent acceleration and engine breaking
If you want to feel the performance take a highway entrance ramp in 2nd to 6k+ then 3rd to 6k+ and you are in triple digits

That's insulting to SUVs

I love getting the Escalade above 5000.

Agree completely on cutting loose. I'm still new to Porsches but I know it has to hold 9 quarts of oil for a reason.
