When I was doing track days, the Corvette and Camaro got plenty of time WOT time with the engine cycling between peak torque and peak power. On the street, I rarely floor the Camaro. It can outrun traffic with 1/4" of accelerator pedal depression, so why bother?
The Dodge Ram gets plenty of time operating at high torque output while towing trailers 500+ miles per day, but I rarely rev it to peak power at max fueling. When hooked to a trailer, I only use enough power to keep up with traffic or to maintain 63 mph. I drive it by the boost and EGT gauges; 20 psi boost and less than 1000 F seems to be the upper threshold of "good" fuel economy. If the boost and EGT exceed 25 psi and 1200 F for more than 10 seconds while climbing a hill, I downshift and slow down. Save the equipment and save fuel. And I only turn on the Edge Comp box a few times a year when I want to feel what 500 HP feels like; the transmission wouldn't last long with 1000 ft*lbs of torque going through it.
