For awhile now when a race looks like its going to be close i shift different than i do when im not worried about loosing. i let my foot off the gas when shift but sometimes if im fast enough i dont let my foot off the gas when i shift from 1st-2nd and 3rd-4th gears this makes the shift half as fast. you have to be fast or it wont shift.If some of you didnt know this might make your car quicker.But it does put a little more wear on the clutch as like normal shifting.

isn't this called powershifting...?

redstanger

maybe not sure.but works when it is needed.

Are you using the clutch or not?

redstanger

yeah use the clutch but dont take your foot off the gas.You can only do this if you have a rev.limiter.

I thought every standard shift man knew how to power shift. Lot of abuse on a weak drivetrain.

Here is another one for you clutch droppers........Floor the pedal and at about 3000rpm turn you clutch foot to the left!!!
This would be called sidestepping!!! If you can hook you will get a good launch. Play with the rpm and see what works!!

LoL.....

that's power shifting. Just don't miss or you will be putting a tranny in sooner then you may want.

I thought no clutch was power shifting!
