You'll be fine driving it normally, as well as driving it like you stole it. The Cleveland is a very versatile engine. Not like an older Porsche in which you have to rev it up before every shift to avoid damage to the transmission. The IR EFI system in your car really tames that engine and allows you to drive it comfortably in a regular around town way. Carbon fouling plugs shouldn't be an issue as I imagine your car has an electronic ignition. But, never hurts to run it up to 5-6,000 RPM when getting onto the freeway! And a heck of a lot of fun too!
It's decieving! The injection has the idle sounding fairly tame, engine rolls smooth, idle doesn't shake, but MAN, I punched it full throttle for the first time giving a friend a ride merging onto the freeway, and Holy Shit! Scared the both of us! I was white knuckling the wheel, because I knew the car was right on the edge of breaking loose. We merged at maybe 100-120mph, and then I shifted into 3rd gear! LOL The thing is a beast.
