I don't think there's any point of powershifting on street cars. In fact, I'm against it since it will damage the transmission.

Street car can't handle powershifting...that's reserved for drag cars with big trannies that are constantly rebuilt.

I would not trust the trans and diff powershifting with much bigger power than stock.

If you do it right there is no problem. You can shift without even using the clutch if you know what you are doing.

The issue is if you screw it up, it's going to be $,000 for .05-.105 in the quarter mile. Not my kind of trade.

ok steps of shifting: take foot off pedal while depressing the clutch, then realease the clutch and depress gas.

it wou really want to kill your car or loose control and crash, i know of a good wall that you could run your car into, and i'll only charge you $20 to tell you where it is.

but on a serious note just go with what they have saud and know that there are really no gauns and its not that great on the car.
