its not bullshit. if you do it right, you WILL feel a difference. im not sure how good it is for your clutch/tranny though, so i only do it when racing.

for example, on my buddies 97 civic ex, if you just shift fast, then nothing cool happens because he has a pretty slow car. if you "speedshift", or whatever the ---- you wanna call it, it chirps like a ----------er and you feel alot more power.

my method for this...

(im in first gear)
keep foot floored on gas. right before rev limit, i kick the clutch like im bruce lee - which basically presses and releases the clutch extremely fast. at the exact same time, i pull my shifter into second gear as fast as humanly possible. once again, kick the clutch and pull the shifter as hard/fast as possible AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. if you do it right, there will be NO grinds. if you fuckup or miss the clutch when kicking, you will hurt your ears and want to cry like a little bitch cuz the grinding noise. repeat for any further gears.

You just pulled some F&F ---- right there. What gear are you in at the end of your "write-up"? It sounds like you shifted into second gear twice.

i speed shift but that in that way. just push the clutch in a lil and slam the next gear without leting off the gas... doesnt grind em, but its still hard on your drivetrain
