What's the proper burnout procedure for a car with a 727 and Transgo TF2 shift kit?

Stick it in L/1st and leave it there to keep the band applied. Otherwise you should switch to a full manual vb that allows you to start in 2nd.

This is not what TransGo says. I too have a TF-2 kit, and after reading all the horror stories on this sight about blowing up your tranny in the burnout box, I called transgo and asked them. The tech guy there (forget his name but he knew his stuff) said that the exploding sprag theory with 727's only applies to manual valve bodies that do not include a low band apply feature (I can't figure out why many of the MVB's are built like this, but apparently they are). The TF-2 (and TF-3 manual) kits DO apply the low gear band when in manual low, so you are not at risk of scattering the sprag. He said you are fine to start in low and then shift to 2nd once you get the tires up to speed. This was a direct conversation between myself and Transgo.
