I hate to say it but most of the bad boys at the track are running autos, just a thought.
That's because an auto is an affordable alternative to a really expensive manual.

That's what I always thought powershifting was, too... Keep the go-fast foot down the whole time, and just stab the clutch and slam into gear.I thought power shifting was (dont let off the gas while shifting) Im still using my clutch but not letting off the gas. If my T-5 could take it for 100+ trips down the drag strip this trans better hold atleast half of that.

No, powershifting is right foot mashed on the gas pedal, and your left foot sitting on the floorboard. Just yank the shifter, and it goes. When you get your transmission faceplated, you are going to be able to do that. It's just not a good idea. I shift my factory 3550 with my foot to the floor (bottle on, yes I know I'm asking for it).

I've never heard of people doing this before in any transmission with synchros in it. This would be absolute disaster. This sort of shifting is applicable when your gears are dog toothed, like on a Semi Truck. Helical cut gears with synchros will be blown apart without using the clutch.
