Power Shifting and launching the z

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
