Message	Shifting quickly while the gas is floored is powershifting and is common with the Mustang guys. I lift off just a tad on the gas while shifting and I don't put the clutch all the way to the floor. It's still effective and you don't put all that stress on your tranny. I'm just afraid of missing a gear and blowing something up.
