I was specifically trying to find a guy in a '70 Chevelle with a fuel injected 383. He is in second LI Extreme street racing DVD.
Anyways, listen carefully and go off that. You can hear him WOT, side step quickly and rip the gear at the same time. Practice on a **** box, then fine tune your skills on your Camaro.
Yes, mostly on the clutch. The idea is to do it quickly.

Your post sure sounded pretty confident to me.

Power shifting is called "power" shifting, because you are shifting under full power, WOT. You still use the clutch, but you do it as little and as quickly as you can.
Any other terms are just randing guys making up their own s**t.

Torchd 02 TA, it's a pretty good one. I was trying to find one from the DVD I mentioned. Fastest shifting I've ever seen. He just rows through the gears and the camera is in the passenger seat. He blows by a '57 Chevy with a 396 like nothing, with some serious finesse.

I posted b/c that's what I thought it was. I'm sure if you look throughout the board, you'll find tons of replies where guys post something they think is right and get corrected about it.
I repeat, I was told that's what the defintion of "powershifting" was. Now if someone else thinks the same and reads this thread, they won't have to deal with jackasses like yourself.
