I just bought a set of the MT Radial Pros. I "heard" the same thing about the 1st few burn outs. (really torch them)
I usually swipe them and get out of the water, put it in 2nd and roll it to 4-5k then it 2nd up to about 5k and there's some smoke rolling then I roll out of it and up to the line. The sig pic is a tad "much" but it was a photo op.
