With gusto...

I keep it over 2500 as much as possible and zing it to 6k a couple of times when it's out on a run. I don't worry about mileage; it's a few months a year car, so I don't give a rat's azz if I'm not maximizing economy.
And I never ever lug. I wonder if lugging contributes to stretching timing chains in these motors? Just thinking out loud.

Same here. I have never hit the limiter. 28,000 miles and running strong!
