if you have the *****, keep you foot to the floor, at 5200rpm put the clutch in, shift, let the clutch out all before 5700rpm and hold on bec you should chrip or break loose the rear tires.

i agree if u have the ***** along with the wallet for it sicne u will probably be buying a new trans soon thats what I did at the strip power shifted and boom blew the trans to peices, upgraded to a tko600 . but yeah powershifting can be worth up to 2 tenths if u do it rightin all your gears

powershifting will definatley do it for you but u gotta be quick with your shift... hold the clutch in too long and you will over rev your engine... needless to say it can be an expensive mistake... and if your tranny is older... it may grenade... mine has 160k on it and im stilling opwershifting at the track, but i give it half a season before it grenades
