gear shifts

hello everyone. I want to know about perfect launch and gearshifts. as I have a 5 speed manual which have a fuel cutoff at 7800 rpm so what should I do to get the perfect launch and then how should I manage the rest of the shifting

rev the engine to 4.5K, then feather the clutch out quickly pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor.

Shift at 7.5K every time.

you guys are all noobs.

there is no such thing as a 5 speed manual.

unless im a noob. which is possible.

there is the 4 speed auto. which, coincidentally has a much lower fuel cut off. (possibly 7.8k) which further lends to my theory that he indeed only has a 4 speed auto. and is taking the shift paddles to mean he has a manual transmission. however, this view is wrong, since the transmission still has a torque converter is is still an automatic.

the only mass produced manual car transmission with shift paddles are vw's DSG and bmw's SMG.
