Regarding the 455lbs torque

Hello all, as I am still learning the vehicle and trying to gain more knowledge about how cars and gears work. So I saw on chevy’s site, that the car has 455 lbs torque @ 4400
I’m assuming this means at 4400 RPM.
I also know that more torque generally means better acceleration, but, how would I get the best acceleration off of a roll, sometimes I get good ones while in the lowest gear, and sometimes I don’t, does that mean I should floor it while at 4400 RPM to get the best acceleration possible? I think horsepower usually means high end speed like in the higher RPM range I’m guessing, like 455 HP @ 6000-6500 RPM? How do I get the best acceleration possible off of rolls? I’m still trying to learn it.

Yes, scold me for my lack of knowledge and for having an SS badge.

I know I’m the most inexperienced and noobiest Camaro owner/member on this site, I just wanna keep learning more! I’d love to keep learning more and more from the Camaro family here!
