RE: shifting
thanks for the shift point info, as far as power shifting. i was looking for a difinative answer as to what it really is. It coudl meam many things to many people. I race MOTOX and for us powershifting is shift at full throttle with out the use of the clutch. i dont even think that is possible in a stang. so what is powershifing in car terms. shift with out lifting your foot form the gas, and still use the clutch as usual? As i said. i want this to be a complete guide for the noob on these 2 subjects. thanks for the imput.

When I hear powershifting I think of shifting without lifting up on the gas. I dont even see how u could shift without using the clutch.

I'm just getting into the whole "sports car" stuff so I don't know much about any of this but I wonder if power shifting refers to simply dropping from a higher gear to a lower gear? I know when I do that to my stang it really throws me back in to the seat.

RE: shifting
yea just kep your foot on the gas while shifting and if your shift is quick enough then it wont bounce off the redline, careful about grinding gears and bending shift forks.. if you really wanna get into power shifing go with a short throw shifter like a MGW or steeda. ill be getting the mgw soon
