It is that easy. You keep the throttle to the floor, push/pull the shifter towards the next gear, then push in the clutch and release as quickly as possible while rowing to the next gear.

Practice on Mom's Focus first.

How'd you get to 600+ RWHP without beating on the car along the way?

its easy to get the numbers on these cars when you have whipple and a awsome tuner those numbers were on a legit MD never really tried powershifting just would speed shift but I hear powershifting helps alot in the 1/4 so I guess I need to learn

WTF are you talking about "kick back from the blower"? The blower does not kick back anything.

You simply need to stab the clutch pedal and row the next gear as fast as possible.

Powershifting may help at the track, but it also helps tear up your trans.

Gas to the floor, do not let it off. Push in the clutch, and let it out while slamming the gears.

So stock clutch then? How many miles on it? Stock adjuster setup?

It is probably severely out of adjustment or needs replaced so the chances of a successful "powershift" are about -1%

There is a thread in the how to section that tells how to correct a design flaw in the stock adjuster setup, maybe you need to do this?

Would probably invest in a quadrant and an adjuster before you "practice" too much.

I like the idea of practicing in Mom's Focus as well... That's how I learned!
