I'm not really sure what the technical name is but i'm talking about shifting without releasing the gas pedal. First of all, how bad is it for your car...and second: does it actually make a difference at the track?

 

ewwwwww don't do that to your baby you sicko!

a) clutch goes goodbye fast

b) im pretty sure if your flooring it and your in between shifts(AS IN NEUTRAL) hitting the rev-limiter isnt good for the engine

could just be me rambling again though

 

you'll be lucky to shave off .2 seconds, its not worth it to kill your clutch like that.

yeah i would never hurt the gizzer...i've just heard of people doing it and it didn't really seem like it would make that big of a difference.

 

NO benefits whatsoever. I tried it in my old car once and destroyed the 2nd gear synchro after only 3 passes. My 4th pass was the fastest of the night, and I shifted normally that time. Powershifting is dumb

 

Its all personal preference. I usually drive like an old lady, but at the track usually do powershift (checked cluthmasters stage III about 10,000 miles after intall and looks perfect). Powershifting is a must if you are on full slicks (IMO)..

 

powershifting has the gaids...Toe-to-Heel is DA BOMB

 

when i shift to second i lift almost completely off the gas pedal, not all the way.. shifting to 3rd i lift about 1/2 way and shifting to 4th, i keep the pedal planted.

power shifting to 2nd will kill ur syncros and tranny. i also only ever shift like that when im at the track.

 

shifting like that to 2nd only made me spin more....

 

I sometimes at the track powershift into 4th just cause the 1/4 is almost done...but it doesn't really help...like .1 or 2 nothing worth it. Abuse your clutch while practicing launches.
