I recently started powershifting (yesterday lol) and i did one today for more practice and for the first time when i shifted the rpms were jumpy around redline for a good few seconds and i hesistated and let off the gas and stopped. Shortly after that i smelled a terrible burning smell like my car was on fire. I am guessing it can be the clutch? What else can it be, and was the rpms jumping a normal thing to do? usually i just get a good wheel spin. Any thoughts of this and how bad is this for my tranny/clutch. i have a cai/tune and axle backs. No serious mods, stock shifter as well. Thanks

Diabolical!

Sounds like you're putting a good glaze on that clutch.

This is why I am so hesitant about buying used.

What's the point in powershifting? I've gotten my best times at the track shifting the regular way.

The point is keeping the rpms up between shifts. I don't care how fast you can shift, if you lift then you are dropping rpms between shifts and it will result in a slower time.

I've never power shifted my car, but I can see why it would lower your ET. Datalog your rpms and see how much they drop between shifts.
