The car has an aftermarket accelerator modification, sensitive pedal and a three stage toggle, normal sport and race. I am having trouble finding the right rpm to shift in first an second.
I don't want to burn out the clutch, I don't ride it at all it just seems to red line fast and doesn't shift as smooth as I would like without kind of chugging along or when i shift up and release the clutch the rear end kind of clunks sometimes. I guess I'm not matching the speed to the revs . I have had the car for a week and getting better but am still having a little trouble , stalling once in awhile .

The car has 27000 km on it and have most records . clutch is stiff an smooth . No real problems,,,, just the driver haha.

I'm just trying to get infer on best speed , rev to shift so I don't damage anything . Its been awhile since I have had a standard car,,, truck no problem. First just seems like low gear in a 4x4 truck .

Thanks guys, looking forward to learning more about the car. Cheers.
Have you tried it with the SprintBooster switched off ( normal )?
I have an auto, but can say that if I put it in first gear, then floor it, the computer will change gears at about 5000 rpm .....
