my car has a twin disk clutch and light flywheel... it still isnt gonna fall quick enough that i want to wait for it!

Haha, fair enough. The whole process is more useful on 4cyl cars by far, and especially for awd where gear to engine speed management is important to not break things. If you're not spinning you wheels every shift, not experiencing an absurd shock, and shifting before your rev limiter you're most likely good to go anyway
