I've always driven using the full engine power BUT I am sympathetic and let the engine reach full temperature for a while first. With a cold engine I am extremely careful not to labour the engine but not to over-rev (say, no more than 2500-3000 revs) until warm.

I don't like using too high revs (except my Honda VTEC I had) but I will use full throttle and have the engine pulling hard through the gears.

I can honestly say I've never 'ruined' any of my engines btu am very careful about oil changes and being kind to them when cold.
