TorqueFlite Burnouts

So Im seeing a lot of 'you can start in first but dont finish in first'. How many guys finish their burnout in third? Should I be going to third?

My previous burnout procedure was roll through the box in first, stop, run first to 4500ish, shift to second again get around 4500ish then let off the gas. For the sake of my 904 I should break them loose in 1st and get to second soon after they are loose, but then what? Third? Keep on the gas but let off the brakes THEN let off the gas after shes rolling a bit?

My procedure has always been to stop in the water.. First gear, and give the gas a quick whack to wet the whole tire and move the car out of the puddle by a foot or two.
Stop completely..still in first, break the tires and as soon as I hear the motor come up strong, shift to second, wait a second and then shift to third with the pedal down hard.
I always take that as far out of the box as I is possible given the track or type of car it is.
I'm also a dry hop or chirpie type of guy. I know it gets the converter hot, but I like to gauge how the car is going to hit before I put the top bulb on.
