If the engine sounds like a tractor, you've got too much throttle at too low of an RPM. If it sounds fine, it is fine. Just my opinion.

I usually launch the car at 1200 to 1500 RPMs in 1st, and it seems quite happy. Any significant amount of throttle in 3+rd at 1500 RPM, and it complains. Not sure if it's engine noise or gear rattle, but something sounds unhappy, so I don't do it.
