Not saying that I disagree that he should shift on the stop, but I don't agree that it will result in more MPH.
I'm NA, but in both my S/ST and SC car I come off the stop in Low and shift downtrack on RPM. I lose little to no MPH doing this, and especially in SC I will out-MPH cars that have 200+ more horsepower than I do. It takes a lot of power and time to get the car moving in High gear.
Again, if I had a supercharged small tire car I'd be shifting on the stop, but it will cost you some MPH.
