i powershift everyday of the week. Wouldnt have it any other way.

he is a shitty clip, i was a little off here. its hard to see the tach and concentrate on shfiting, driving, etc lol. foot never left the gas. I need to get a video from the passenger seat so we can really see how it looks lol This isnt my best work, but its an example of what i think "decent" powershifting is

Here is a quick 2-3 powershift, just rolled into the throttle real slow until it was WOT.

Like an auto running a 5,000 rpm stall converter, you won't run that on the street in the city or the suburbs.
