Power shifting to me I thought was shifting at the proper time each gear to keep the RPM needle in the peak power band for maximum torque (not HP).
And dumping the clutch is bad unless you're planning on replacing it a lot sooner than you would normally. You can ease relatively slowly into 1st and still pull down a decent time. Dumping through 2,3,4 isn't as bad since the change in revs isn't as great as dumping from 4k

yeah ur right. dumping from 2nd 3rd 4rd 5th 6th isnt as bad as 1st but i still want someone to confirm if power shifting is changing gears while the gas pedal is fully pressed from 1st to 6th. and also if we dont dump the clutch and get back on the gas very fast our 1/4 mile time would be much slower then automatic because if you dont dump it then its going to take more time to get back on the gas while in automatic the gas pedal is always pressed down
