I don't see engine load on the chart? Heavy Throttle in High gears at low RPMs is not ok for any engine. Aka lugging. You are putting the engine at a disadvantage

Best definition I've found for lugging, at any combination of load and RPM that results in "unsmooth" acceleration. Sure you can go full load and lowish RPM and have smooth acceleration albeit slowly but thats just extra load on the engine for no reason. If you had an automatic it's literally programmed not to do this.
