Line lock options

The idea is to AVOID first gear doing the burnout, if possible. If that isn't possible, there is a proper way...... but I just don't remember what it is. Either in "1" or "D".
All my 727 trans's have full manual valve bodies.
LOL...yeah my old motor didn't have the guts to start in D or 2nd even.....i would sooommmeettimmmesss get lucky after i put in 3.73 gears from the 3.23. the motor was tired....built in the 80s. but i got a new one coming that will put out 600hp....so it shouldn't be a problem lol.
