Stick racers.......step in please.

very informative lessons here.
When I ran my chevelle as a stick I always tried to come out at a lower rpm like 350, car never worked as it was just bogging along. no torque multiplycation like the auto in the car now.
I always tried to dead hook it and broke first gear twice lugging it in the torque band fighting for traction.
autos have torque multiplycation and get up on the tire easier if I'm explaining/understanding right. sticks need whell speed to get the car going and get it from specific amounts of tire slip.
