Is this a good definition:
Power Shifting - 5speed Warning: This WILL break something if you do it enough.
Anyway. Its simple in theory, harder in practice. Doubt you'll get .5 with it though. .2-.3 is more reasonable.
1) Mash the gas while in 1st. 2) At about 100rpm before redline, get ready. 3) Keep your right foot PLANTED the whole time. 4) At redline, you engage your clutch. This doesn't mean mash it to the floor. You only need to push it down far enough to disengage it, which, if your clutch is shot, might only be 2" or so, depends on the car. 5) WHILE CLUTCHING, you slam your gear (2-3 being the toughest) 6) As soon as you are in the next gear (your hand should still be on the shifter), sidestep the clutch. That means, slide your foot off it to the left and let the clutch pedal snap up on its own.
- This must be done quickly as your motor will obviously rev up while the clutch is in. The trick is shifting fast enough to avoid hitting the rev limiter. - Done properly, your rpms should rise less than 500rpm. - Powershifting 5th is not recommended
I looked on google and that came from some truck page.

problem is, once you start you cant stop. As soon as i learned how on my d16 i went through three trannys
now i have a b18c and trashed the third gear syncros in one week!, its nice for the extra hundreths of sec's with a d16, but prolly not worth it on my new motor, i think i can spare it, now i have to pay the price.:slap:
