I believe powershifting is when you shift without letting up on the throttle. You must be very, very, very quick though. I don't think the positives outweigh the negatives though. It's a tremendous shock to your driveline.

I thought power shifting was shifting without the use of the clutch? At least that is what it is when referring to accelerating with a cycle...I kicked numerous bikes all the way up to 100mph that I KNOW were faster than mine....the riders just weren't either willing to speed shift, or didn't know how.

Yeah...but never even touched the clutch....just put enough pressure on the shifter that when I blipped the throttle the gears meshed perfect and slipped into the next gear in milliseconds...anyone who ever rode on the back was "giggle-silly" after a ride!
