This thread was before my time. Too good to miss. Gotta share.

I find it better to go 25-30% throttle until about 3500-4000 rpm , then stand on it quick enough to set the 'power' lamp. I drive a lot of cars in my job and I've found that almost all multi-valve engines perform better this way, it's not just an SVX or Subaru phenomenon.
I have found this to be true.
