What do you think of taking my car on a long trip with low

I just got my tC a few weeks ago, and I put approx. 1700 miles on it so far... so its well past its break in period. Now I wonder if I should take it to GA from VA... approx 800 miles. This involves constant reving at a constant engine speed on the highway... which I hear can be bad for a new motor... any ideas? Should I do it? Thanks!

Like the others say. Just do it. If you are still unsure depending on the time of day, just change you speed around from 65-75 once in a while & you should be good.
