If you have stock gears you don't really have any need to do it in 2nd, 1st will be fine

Both of you guys have m6s, what if the poster of the thread has an auto? Should he put the shifter in 1st or 2nd? 2.73s or 3.23s gearing.

Ive got a A4 with a 3800 stall. I tried both 1st and 2nd. And 2nd seems to make the tires more stiky

I did mine in 2nd. Less likely to hit the rev limiter

with stock gears and convertor, I do mine in first gear only. I've heard you do more damage by shifting the 4L60E into 2nd during a burnout from a few folks.
