405 RPM's above 3500

I've always babied my 405dl and for the most part kept the rpms under
3500. I just assumed that it put unnecessary wear on the engine and
transmission. After reading some of the threads on the transmission and
engines however, I'm wondering what I'm missing up in the forbidden
zone.

Can anyone comment on running the 405's engine above 3500 or for that
matter any of the Pug engines in the northern region of the tach?

The car has an automatic transmission, and I know it's going to break
again anyway, so I might as well live it up while I can.
