Starting AFTER wait to start light goes out

Is it beneficial to start if I wait a while AFTER the wait to start light goes out?

I understand the heater grid stays on for a while longer so I'm assuming the longer you wait the warmer it will be for the first tune over?

TIA

our grid heaters do not stay on after the light goes out, but they do cycle on and off once it does start.
you can hear them shut off when the light goes out.


powerjoke's however do stay on for up to 2 min's. like you care about a powerjoke

I don't even use the heater unless it's too cold to actually start. Check out the previous thread about cold starting.
