I wouldn't worry too much about that. The Savage is what it is. Let it rev, you won't hurt it. I have a 20 year old four gear and usually I cruise slowly with it, but today I was in a mood, and was at full throttle more than not this afternoon. Today I let out the shaft. (That's a golf term, but I use that expression when I am riding the nuts out of Black Betty.) I was mostly on major freeways and the Savage didn't skip a beat. Not even when I ran over a rusty muffler exhaust pipe combo at 140 kph (85mph) on the Lodge (A Freeway in Detroit). BTW I went by Tiger Stadium to say my goodbyes, but that's another story.
So sstankus, don't be afraid to let out the shaft.
