I guess we'll agree to disagree. But I do have to ask you one question...if you think the difference is so little then why do you have a faceplated transmission in your car? I mean if its just a tenth then why go through the hassel/money of a special transmission that allows you to shift at WOT if a syncro'd manual is just a hair slower? You seem to contradict yourself.
Not to toot my horn but I'm pretty fast at shifting (not juice fast lol) and I see a noticeable gain. Hell I can powershift all but one gear change and notice it in my ET.

I was testing a new 5 speed x5 one time. I was beating the tar out of this thing. It was awd so I was leaving off the limiter and no lift shifting. Really was'nt getting results I wanted. I backed it off, slipped the clutch a little on take off and lifted when I shifted and it picked up .5 on just the 0-60 time. The run felt slower because it was so much smoother That's what you want, smooth. If a car is jumping around on the shift it will cost you time.

When my trans was synchro'd, I came up with a reliable way to power shift consistently without failing to engage the next gear, MOST of the time. I knew I had to feel the bottom of the clutch pedal for an amount of time during the shift or I might miss a gear. After I got the trans faceplated, I only kick the pedal down to slip the clutch, and seldom bottom it out. In my case, I'd say it cut the total shift time by no less then 1/4, but IMO its closer to 1/2. Then there's the reliability and consistency factor. I know its going into gear now, every time.

I kinda use that to daily drive it. I run up a gear and ease off the gas, pull to neutral while backing out a bit more on the throttle. I wait a sec and pull the next gear. Most of the time now, there's no noise at all. I've got about 18k of daily driven use on it now. I might tear it down over the winter for inspection just to be on the safe side. Had quite a few stoplight races and screwing around with it so I figure its time.

I'm not getting 10 races, I'm @ 18K. The guys getting 10 passes are running 8's or lower and breaking all kinds of ****. Point was, there isnt an exact service interval so its probably a good idea to take a look while its up for the really bad weather of Dec through Feb when I'm driving the beater.

Wasn't this the guy supposedly pulling car lengths on modded cars w/ 50+whp more in a stock GTO? If so then I call bullshit on his story's again. He can drive the car yes, but power shifting doesn't make up that big of a difference unless he's running those people that take 20 mins to change gears.
