My short answer is NO ......
One of the few times that I "cruised" at over 4,000 RPMs, in a low torque, low HP car, was at 14,000 feet in a loaded down miata.
Why? Because just in case I needed every bit of power that puppy had to pull (push) me through a curve ....... especially on what were the gravel sections.
Do you see the guardrails to save you ...... ?? You don't, because there weren't any.
Yep, your machine will be happier cruising at 3,000 rather than 4,000 rpms .....and you will save gas ........
