No lift shifting?
Is the no lift shifting good to do in just competitive mode when racing. I haven't done a no lift shift on my car yet and just wanted to get ideas on when its actually ok to do it. Just don't wanna mess the car up.

Ok, thanks for the insight everyone. Yeah, as my friend calls it seems like factory approved power shifting, I guess thats why I was a little edgy about but will try it now. Probably not today in the rain though.

well kinda. power shifting is w/o the clutch and when you NLS you use the clutch. so basically its a safe way to full-throttle shift, using the clutch

Wait what? Powershifting is not without the clutch, it's the same as a NLS only in the TCs case the ECM cuts spark for a brief moment allowing you to complete the shift without the RPMs continuing to rise and thus you do not hit the rev-limiter.

who says you can't NLS with a tune, and why? Everyone who I know who has a tune loves NLSing, I do it and with my dp and exhaust it sounds like a blockbuster going off! My friend tom thought he has a blow out last night when I did it from 3rd to 4th on the highway and I was like 5+ cars ahead of him by then

Stress on the clutch and flywheel with the extra torque, I'm not tuned yet though so I can't speak, nor have I been in a tuned TC.

i was under the impression that power-shifting, didnt fully depress the clutch and was more like slamming your gears, but whatever. it is what it is. i wouldnt consider NLS a powershift by any means...just a limited full-throttle shift
