Is it bad to accelerate rather quickly on the regular. I'll put it like this I usually keep it under 2.5 rpms but sometimes I'll go to 3k (rarely like once in a blue moon), but usually shift at 2.5k on the regular is that bad for the motor for DD driving? Should I keep it to 2k for the most part? It's a GT 5 speed...with bolt ons

I love this car, and I am a broke college student so Im being cautious. I used to have an 01 gt vert (it was an auto), I used to rip that thing a new one on the highway ( I can honestly say I've pegged the speedo needle on that one completely)...but this is my first 5 speed and it's louder then a motha when I start to rev high (I know it's just the x-pipe/other bolt ons) I just get nervous with that plastic intake manifold I've heard horror story's about it.

haha alright thanks fellas you set my mind at ease. My shifting isn't all that great I am still getting used to it. Im good driving around or just b/sing a little...but Im not great at shifting fast for stop light racing kinda deal. (I need a short throw shifter!!!)
