Argess,
I'm not a drag racer, so I can't offer much in the way of launch/shift technique. But my car has about the same transmission/differential setup as yours. With my rev limiter set to 6,000 first gear is good to about 50 MPH and each subequent gear is good for another 25 MPH. Full throttle on street tires will cause the tires to break loose in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. So for a spirited launch, I can't give it full throttle at the beginning. I find it hard to modulate the throttle well enough to give maximum acceleration without the tires breaking loose in 1st gear. So I usually shift from 1st at about 3,500-4,000 RPM. That puts me in 2nd at about 2,500 RPM (where my torque band starts to get strong) and I can modulate the power much better in 2nd. As I said before, these are not race techniques and I have no idea if they yield the quickest track times.
