You do not adjust the clutch by where the point of engagement is occurring. You set the amount of freeplay at the top of the pedal. 1/2 to 1 inch should be enough. This insures that the TOB is not riding on the fingers of the pressure plate. This is what you want. Close to, but no contact between the TOB and the pressure plate fingers. The point of engagement happens where it happens, and is controlled by many factors.

Powershifting is shifting the trans and not lifting your foot off of the gas pedal. Practice normal shifting first before doing this as the RPM's can climb real fast if you miss a gear and you will be bumping the rev limiter.
