Powershifting prevents the flywheel from slowing down, you're keeping revs at redline while clutching and then the flywheel is suddenly taxed with having to immediately slow down to match the speed of the transmission due to the next gear being larger. Thus why your shifts are so rough - lift off the throttle when you're clutching.
When you redline, you have to shift fast enough to prevent your RPMs from falling too far down but not so fast that they haven't had enough time to slow down. With a close-ratio gearbox like ours, you'd have to be an extremely slow shifter to let the revs drop too far down. So just try working on lifting off the throttle during the clutching, and turning off SRM does help like Nick said - because the natural tendency of the SRM is to hang the flywheel/revs for a tiny bit, before slowing down and matching the RPM of the next gear. Remember, the SRM actually rev-matches on both the up and downshift.
