Your post doesn't present a clear goal or question, so if you provided either then a better answer could be given. Maybe it's especially cold where you live? Although I have a hard time believing any part of Tx is cold right now.

Warm up with modern engineering, materials, engine management, oil, etc, is drive and go. Accelerate easy until the oil is warm enough for your comfort. Moderate RPMs are best, not too low not too high. Good oil pressure that way.

In reality unless your car is modded or you plan to keep it an exceptionally long time, you could jump in and floor it if need be. The stock DME will limit power significantly depending on the engine temperature. I'd be surprised if you did much damage to the motor this way even doing it over an extended period of time.
