burnout, in 1st or 2nd?

I have a 12-bolt with 4.10's (M6) and am using et streets I've heard of doing a burnout in 2nd but haven't tried it yet. I've been doing it in 1st and seems to be working out, would 2nd be better?

2ND Gear burnouts are the best. Very quick and less revving on the motor (you can hold it at 4500 or so).

I hope you have a line lock, if so then yes of corse 2nd or maybee even 3rd gear burnouts, because at the same rpm as first your tire will be spinning much faster thus heating up much more and much quicker!

Burnouts in a M6 are done the best with a linelock and in 2nd gear.

Re: burnout, in 1st or 2nd?

I saw a guy doing a burnout in REVERSE the other day at the track.... but he was running a street tire.... I imagine a burnout in reverse with an et street or slick would probably damage the tire.
