How you acheive maximum acceleration will depend on the situation. Coming from a standing stop will be very different from coming out of a low speed corner. Still, while the specifics may be very different, the simple answer will be "giving as much throttle as possible without losing traction from the drive wheels."
If coming from a standing start, chances are that holding the throttle wide open and just dropping the clutch will give you an unproductive amount of wheel spin. Finding the right amount to start, and then smoothly bring more throttle in as 1) weights transfers to the back giving you more traction, 2) the car begins to move, allowing for more throttle.
Out of a corner, there are many issues you probably want to deal and become proficient with before you tackle the issue of maximum acceleration. If you have the right line, and can already get a good run out of the corner and are looking to improve: the first key is not so much how much throttle you apply, but rather how early in the turn you can begin to apply it. When you do, you must do so very smoothly and gradually, making corrections as needed to keep the car in balance. Generally, as you begin to unwind the wheel at the exit you will be able to feed progressively more throttle.

Maximum acceleration is obtained when the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface reach a critical point when the tire is ready to slip. The better the grip the more acceleration. Once the grip has started to slip then the acceleration will not increase as much.

don't granny shift you gotta double clutch and warm the rear tires up before to make the tires stick to the road better also if its drag racing have the tires at the lowest pressure to get more grip so you don't spin the tires as much get rid of as much weight in the car as possible for better acceleration if there is nesasery weight then try putting it tords the back of your car and redline in the first three gears power shift if you no how to

best way is to max out your rpm in 1st and 2nd. wait untill you are redlining (needle on rpm gauge is on the red line) to shift to 2nd or third. also, get comfortable with your clutch, every car is different and requires different little things to make u go.
