I turn the key to on and let the guages peg and go back down, then start the car and let the oil pressure get to operating pressure, put it in gear and go!

I'll do the above but I'll also drive very moderatly the first few miles until my oil temp is at least 145 degrees. By then, all the other fluids are at proper operatinig temperatures as well and going wide open will not hurt anything.

Probably 15-20 seconds, just enough to get the oil pressure up. After that, I take it easy until it gets up to temp.

By the time you depress the clutch and snick it into first it should be ready to rock.
