Lastly, if the car is on all 4 jack stands, is there any extra precautions for running the engine and shifting through the gears while the wheels are spinning?

1) PARK (Drive or Reverse is dangerous)
2) When shifting through the gears your foot should be on the brake.
Make sure you are using jack stands at the correct jacking points AND place your jack under the car, put the jack anywhere. Rather damage the car if it falls then kill yourself.
