    I drive like I am making wine.

    After some runs my right leg is sore from all the pedal mashing.


    I don't know why , but it seems like the boost comes on earlier and the Rrrrs stay up on the long climbs if I Mash It.

    Thank you.. So is 900 rpm all I need, or for longevity is it advised to go higher?

    I'd like to try & keep the engine as happy as possible.:binky:
