Are you powershifting when you shift? Meaning, keeping the gas pedal pushed all the way in and shifting as fast as possible? If you're willing, that's the best way to shift when racing.

As far as reving and dumping the clutch at the start- as long as your tires don't go up in smoke then I guess you're ok.

Will these 5-speeds handle power shifting?
