i have been told by various mechanics if you intend to drive harshly to flog the piss out of it from the get go to seat the valves properly...if not the valves will seat for the 3k and under rpms you are driving it, and will cause problems when you start driving it hard and shifting past 5k rpm.
dunno if thats true, but every mechanics shop and dealership i have worked at thats what they claim. I do know its bad to keep your rpms the same for a extended rate of time (65mph on a freeway drive for a hour or more straight) and most mechanics reccomend for commuters that have to drive the freeway to keep shifting from 3rd to 4th to 5th every now and then to keep the rpms changing.
