The owners manual has a list of recommended shift speeds for "normal" driving and those speeds all correspond to 3000 RPM shift points. That makes for very leisurely driving, of course, not high acceleration.

Luggin the engine has a tendency to cause piston slap in a piston engine thus the pinging sound, in a rotary some other things might happen

Don't confuse arrogance with certainty. He is correct and you are out of order.

Operating your motor under load at RPMs significantly below the torque peak.
Generally, giving it gas in expectation of excelleration at RPMs below 3k on this particular motor.

Yes. This is exactly what detonation on the Renesis sounds like.
It is firly loud and comes from the left (driver's side) of the motor.
