I keep the throttle planted to the floorboards, tap the clutch about an inch, and pull the lever. If you have a good enough clutch, that time is enough to it to disengage/engage. So your tranny will be fine it its done right and with the right equipment.
It is harder to powershift a Vette because of the shifter linkage, but its is still very posible and will show a great improvement in ET and MPH

Im glad your tranny is working fine after 350 HARD powershifted passes, can you imagine how much longer it could last if you didnt, I can.
If you dont beleive me and are truely on the original tranny with 350 passes (not disbeleiving you at all) go open it up and look at the teeth on the gears.
Im not disagreeing from faster mph and et I know it helps, every little bit helps.
