I'll jump on the necro train.

I became a bit on a rev junkie when I first started driving it last year. I'm super paranoid about low RPM = low oil pressure. Then I turned on the eco-upshift thingy. It's crazy how low it's programmed but I began using it for a couple things.

1. I keep it in mind mostly when the engine is cold.

2. I still feather the throttle until 2000 rpm but I'm less paranoid about operating between 1500-2000. I trust the engineers telling me it's ok to short shift that much.


Whether your operating below or above the flat spot depends entirely on the conditions. Just focus on being smooth with your inputs.
