just drive it normally. i rev 1st gear lightly up to 3.5k as usual but dont mash the pedal. the bigger issue is how much load you're forcing the engine to push while cold i thinks.

NOTE:
Various people have recommended to me over the years to never rev the engine over 2k RPM until the oil warms up. I now know why. Oil pressures will top 100psi when the oil is cold. By the time the oil hits 180F, it's less viscous and flows more easily...you'll have lower oil pressures. No wonder why some guys probably blew their oil cooler lines!

i dont foresee myself driving under 2k rpm on street just to warm up the oil.
i drive normally and once temps are above 150F range i gradually open her up.

You also use charburger grease in lieu of engine and gear oil, so we can expect your car to run forever regardless of how you drive.
