First, the power of the double overhead cam comes on strong at 2,500 to 3,000 rpm. So when down shifting you want the gear that puts you in this power band.

Second, when dropping down more than 1 gear, rev the engine a bit while having the clutch in; just a quick tap on the gas pedal.

Third, 1st gear is really low, so don't downshift to first. The good news is that it's easy to do a burnout.
