I'd say shoot for 3300-3500, that is, flip the lever to manual mode, shift down to the gear that puts you into this rpm range (might need to adjust your pedal position a bit), floor it, then flip the gear lever back to D before you hit the rev limiter (!) and just keep the pedal floored. The A8 will power shift for you and keep you in the powerband as much as it can.
Of course, you should never exceed any applicable speed limit while doing so, and experiment with no cars, crossroads, pedestrian crossings, medians etc. around. You don't want to be that guy.

I will definitely need to record some pulls and dig launches to expirement, I was earlier, and yes, no one was around me, I promise, it was dark and no cars around on the highway
SR-54 here in Florida. It’s oki if they dislike me after my previous thread, mainly for me calling the car pathetic in the title on a Camaro forum, I definitely understand their hate/dislike towards me, it’s oki, I have no friends anyway really, but I mainly called it pathetic because I was upset at all the bad pulls I was getting due to my inexperience and all the money I put down towards it, and thought the car was just slow.
I’m still trying to get good pulls but can’t seem to, like the guy from the dealer that showed me when I was sitting with him.
I put back my K&N and still can’t pull the car like he did
