IMO: I believe that they are power shifting. Its very difficult to achieve good times not doin it.

Maybe for ECU they have K-Pro which should offer more gains, if only by a slight margin

bboylocob · 12-19-2006, 09:28 AM

SIcBoy · 12-19-2006, 09:30 AM

Powershifting is so bad, but so fun at the same time haha.

SIcBoy · 12-19-2006, 09:37 AM

how would one powershift and this is my 500TH post

K20z3 Civic Si [PHONG] · 12-19-2006, 09:42 AM

Powershifting is when you shift without letting go of the gas.

For example - You're in 2nd gear, you hit 8k RPM, you hit the cluctch, shift into third, and while all thats happening your foot never leaves the gas. You gotta be quick though or else the needle will start bouncing.

SIcBoy · 12-19-2006, 09:57 AM

OH I SEE, yeah i dont do that but im going to try it

so that could bump up your times

6spdChick · 12-19-2006, 10:11 AM

I was power shifting at the track didn't notice a hugeee difference in time.

SIcBoy · 12-19-2006, 10:16 AM

how much time did it bump off your 1/4. like a half a second

6spdChick · 12-19-2006, 10:27 AM

Maybe lol You have to be carefull with power shifting though. It can either hurt your time really bad if you don't pop the clutch at just the right time it will mess you all up, or it can be good if you're smooth with it.
