#24949, "How long do you guys warm her up???"




          

How long do you guys warm your cars, when it is sitting overnight??? Some say 30 seconds, then go but don't floor it. I've heard that it's actually bad to let the car idle after a cold start too long. I just let her warm up until close to normal operating temps (temp. needle almost at the middle), then go. Just wondering!!!!!

I let mine warm till its just below half on the stock temp gauge.... I hope it is not bad to let it warm for a while after a cold start... can some else elaborate on this?

atleast 5-10sec if i need to go.. but i dont go into boost till its warmed up... but if i got the time i wait for mt egt to get to 800 at around that time my temp is about in the middle, if so i go into boost right away...just to be on the safe sides...
