What's your theory on "bogging?"

I used to drive a Saleen with 4.56 gears so unless i were to not give it any gas at all then it will bog. Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to bog since the 1st gear on that car was so short with the gears.

I've been bogging the s2k a lot due to the fact that i'm still getting used to the transition between having a lot of torque and short first gear to a longer first gear with the minuscule torque that the s2k offers. I'm finally getting used to it though.

I've heard it's bad on the motor because you're at low(er) oil pressure and you're requiring a lot of work out a motor that cannot provide the amount of work you want at that low rpm level.

I know the above is a horribly, non-technical answer, but it makes sense to me.
