i'm reading you don't really need to wait long for cars to be ready to go from the moment you start em these days but i've been playing it safe by keeping it below 2krpm till the engine warms up

Turn and go since the early 80's never had an issue and I live in Michigan where it gets cold as fuck. The main reason I warm it up now is because I'm old and it doesn't blow heat for a few miles down the road and that sucks.

Studies have shown this is the best way to record high oil pressure during a cold start.
