In a 99rs elcipse 5speed whats the best rpm to launch at and what are the best rpms to shift in each gear?

If you're going for all-out racing, launch at 3500 or so, depending on your tires' grip, and slip your clutch trying to maximize power to the ground while maintaining traction. It's a real art to accomplish the best launch possible. Many here recommend a slight chirp at the launch rather than a bog or a wheel-hopping nightmare.

After that, just try and shift at redline for the most part.

I heard to shift at reline in first and a different rpms in the other gears.Then i also heard from a guy that said he got faster times shifting before redline

Yes, always shift at redline.

I guess I was just referring to the launch in my preface.

Shift 1st at 7k and then the rest at 7150 to 7200 right before the redline hits you.
