For most cars in a straight line drag, this is what I do:
- Don't wear watch or rings on your gear hand.
- Get out of 1st gear ASAP as it doesn't translate much into forward motion.
- I usually dump the clutch between 4k to 5.5k but it depends on traction and torque characteristics.
But am no expert on straight runs (not my cuppa tea); the speed merchants here may have better ideas.
