You don't want to shift at your max torque...because then when you go into the next gear you are going to be way out of your powerband. You want to shift at whatever RPM drops to your peak torque in the next gear when upshifting (Example: drive at 4,000 RPM in 4th gear and then drop it down to 3rd gear if you can and whatever RPM you're at is when you want to shift).
And for launching, you DEFINITELY do NOT want to drop the cluth at peak power (torque or horsepower). You will spin and your 60ft times will blow and 1/4 mile times. Like said before, go to a track and experiment. First try 2,000 RPM then maybe 3,000 RPM and whatever gets you off the line quicker is what you'll want to do.
Make sense?
