The ECU might be sensing that youre at full throttle with no load, and cuts the gas so you dont blow the motor.
As for the shifting, practice speed shifting using the clutch, I guarantee youll be just as fast if not faster. I've gotten my shifting down to where most people I race think Im in an automatic w/ a shift kit, they dont believe me untill they look in my car.

Right on, I'll have to practice that

One thing I forgot, if you dont have a shifter with shift stops......GET ONE. Ive bent the shift forks inside one of my trannys before, shifting to hard, usually from racing, fast shift + hard shift = bent shift forks. The shift stops help a lot, not to mention you get a nice short throw with it. And the feel is way better than stock.
