If I shift into second gear without slipping the clutch a bit i'll light up my front tires... not good for my ET :P This is a subjective topic... what works for one car with one driver and a certain setup might be completely wrong for somebody else. Here's a general "rule-of-thumb" list.
1: On street tires you don't need a long burnout to heat up the tires, just spin them enough to clean off any loose bits of gravel etc.
2: Hold the rev's at a constant (me= 4500rpm, you=whatever works) and slip the clutch while giving enough throttle to remain at your constant RPM's. When the clutch is all the way out lay into the throttle and get ready for second.
3: If you can powershift 2nd without doing a burnout (me) then just stab the clutch and slap the gearshift down to second without laying off the throttle, be very
very fast :P
4: You want to shift into third the same as second, third is an easy gear to miss so concentrate
After that you should be good, just hang on till the little green light flashes on your side of the track
5: If you need 4th gear for the 1/4 mile then you're pretty fast already and you don't need to be reading this :P
peace,
