Launching.
What is the best way to get off the line quickly? 1st quick into 2nd? or 2nd with a good bit of throttle?
Coasting
If I let off the throttle and coast downhill, does the engine still use gas? Is it more fuel efficient to clutch-in, or to just throttle off?
also if i want to be lazy, do i really need 1st and 3rd?

With the ratio's we have I don't see any benefit to skipping gears. I shift 1-4 winding through each gear.
With my Kit it doesn't take too long to do so either
Yes the engine still uses gas when coasting downhill, You need it to do so since your crank is lubricated by the fuel it gets. I don't recommend coasting downhill with the clutch in as it'll heat up, Just keep the throttle open a little and brake as needed.
