^^^THIS is the safest and most reliable way to get a clean run

Being in the lowest possible gear, then relying on a quickly timed manual shift, then shifting back to auto is a recipe for a screwed up run 90% of the time.
I can't tell you how many times I practiced this because it totally makes sense, but reality is that 1st shift comes too quick and then getting it back in auto is a hit and miss.

This works better.

I say go drive at each of the speeds you asked about, and see where the transmission has the RPM at each speed. Look for the sweet spot based on peak TQ and that'll let you know where to start (pun intended).

Exactly... the other piece of this is if you hold the paddle to get it into the lowest gear your foot has to be 100% off the gas. Once you are back on the gas it's way too quick of a 1st shift taking into account finger speed plus a slight lag in the system. Hitting redline kills the run.
