Depends. Some have holes in the injection hat after the throttle bodies that are covered up with tape, removing the tape increases air flow and idle speed.
Some crew chiefs use only one magneto for the burn out and activate the second right before the run.
Some teams have throttle limiters that only allow 1/4 throttle for the burn out and are removed before the full pass. Every team and crew chief has their own little tricks.
