ive ruined a few trans doing that. I usually try and save it for the track. A few things ive learned is to never powershift if the tires are spinning(like the top of first into second). Also you need to pull hard or youll miss it just like you did. Obviously it wont prolong the life of your trans, LOL. Car sounds good though. what clutch did you go with?

work on that... the missed gear thing happens sometimes but the more you practice, the less it will happen.

Agreed. I have never attempted powershifting. Dont even want to try it. Maybe I might try a 3->4 shift one day.

I just powershifted my car last night for the first time,

I used to do it all the time with my old mustang. Resulted in a new best g-tech time, 13.3 @ 108. Previous best of 13.5 @ 106 on the same strech of road. 2.3 60ft both times need improvment. I powershifted all the gears. 1-2 shift boke the tires loose pretty good so im not sure i gained much there.
