Yeah. I managed to fuck up the tranny in an S10 powershifting it and never using the clutch. I bent/broke something in it and it used to get stuck between gears. ---

Yup, always a risk of messing something up. Gotta decide if you want to abuse parts and “baby” it to get ok results, or abuse parts and do it right to get the best time you can. At the end of the day, its your car and your call! ---

powershifting is how all the big HP guys get great ET’s they dont use clutches, and never let off the gas…they also have dogboxes designed to do such, gearset designed to handle it, strain gauges on the shifter tell the ECU’s to blip the ignition off for a perfectly timed event and allow the engine to spin down and go in gear. IMO do it so you can quickly get an R200 kit and yank wheelies like inline pro. ---
