"Real" powershifting is shifting without the clutch...now that's some wear on the drivetrain.

Ohh, see most of the time I'm just not familiar with the terminology. I have actually tried both of those mothods. The "real" way is very hard in the higher gears IMO (atleast on my old RSX-S). I could only do it to 4th gear (had 6). I have never tried it on the Z though.
So are there any benefits to the generic power shifting? It only really seems like a time saving procedure more than anything...

i'm surprised no one asked this, and i just read every single post... how do you launch your car? 
i've trapped 103 once when i ran a 13.8 w/ stock re040's (17's) dropped to like 25 psi, but most of the time my launches suck and i can't hook up... i was at the track this past wed. and my best runs was a 14.2 w/ 2.3 60ft...
i just ordered lmgt4's w/ toyo t1-s, i'll see how that goes...
edit ***just saw you other thread (w/ videos) on how you launch... daamn ,slipping at 4k, how many miles on your clutch?*** nice runs!

You're rim/tire upgrade will probably be worse than your stockers...I pulled a few low 2.0 60's on the stock 18in RE040s...and my summer rims are 18s with 275 rear S-03s and they don't hook up AT ALL.

Can you link to the video of your launches? I just got back from the track, and I was doing consistent 14.75XX trapping at about 96 MPH. My 0-60 times were about 2.5 or so. I guess my launch is my weak point, I was shifting at about 6300 RPM.
Otherwise, I did manage to win the import competition bracket racing contest $100 bux in cash, on my first night!
