Well, I'm not sure how you started your run..

But I'd suggest doing a quick spin of the tires to get anything off of them...no need for a big smokey burnout.

I'd suggest holding the rpms around 3000-3500. Don't even worry about cutting a good reaction time. I'd focus on the launch. So when the light goes green and you feel ready, progressively let out the clutch until you feel it catching and put more pressure on the gas. When the you feel the clutch has grabbed fully, put your foot to the floor until you have to shift.

I like to practice shifting a few times while I'm in the staging lanes just to get a feel for shifting fast.
