is it safe for to take off at 3500 rpm during breakin period. How far can we push it to? For me it easily goes of to 3000-3500rpm while takin off from the traffic lights, other wise it just seems so slow if you dont push it to atleast 3000.

MaTRiX: Assuming RPMs are the same here and in Canada, the instructions say not to exceed 4500, not 3500. It's not hard to exceed 4500; it's happened twice, completely by accident
! It's up to you if you want to take them literaly. I was concerned because my auto had 10+ miles on it when delivered and the CA told me it was the factory, which I don't believe for a second. I've got no idea how it was driven, by the dealer, but not admitted to.
