To perform a power shift, keep the gas pedal on the floor (instead of lifting) while pushing in the clutch. At the same time, quickly shift to the next gear. Quickly re-engage ("pop") the clutch as soon as the new gear is selected.

What do you call shifting without the clutch?

No clutch, basically lol. I don't like to do it... My b/f does it all the time in his 06 Dodge Ram though [&:]

I'm on the stock clutch and I powershift at the track on every run (I've had a lot of passes). I've missed a couple gears here and there because I've gotten out of the clutch to quickly, it sucks, but still hasn't made me think about not powershifting. If you don't constantly miss gears then I wouldn't worry about it. It does take a little force to get into gear while under full throttle, but you should be poundingthe gearsanyways if you are powershifting to makethe shiftas quick as possible. With intake and tune as my only performance mods, I've trapped 108 mph, with consistent 107 mph. If you want to get the best times, you gotta powershift.
