Wonder is it out many stress on engine? Or lugging maybe?

30% at 3800rpm is more than fine.
Lugging is more like 80-100% at 2000-2500rpm
Lugging is more like 80-100% at 2000-2500rpm
Thank you for reply. Any gear above 3500 rpm is fine for engine to pull am I right?
That's more or less the rule.
If you are below 3000-3500 just keep it below 50% throttle and you should be fine.
100% at 3K in 4-6th is not good regardless of whether you resist calling it lugging. 3500 is far better for 4th , over 4K for 5th or 6th. If that's to fast then those gears were certainly not needed at that time.
Not really. If you want to accelerate the n the best gear to be in is one that will put you closer to 4500, 100% @ 3500rpm in 5th and 6th gear will create a lot more stress than being in a lower gear and it they will be slower anyway. So why do it? You have a transmission, use it to you and your engines advantage ! ! !
Thank you for reply. I haven’t 100% WOT on my car yet. 50% is most time I do pull, yesterday just apply 30-40% at 5th 3k8 rpm.
