Yes there are two different ways to "double-clutching". One would be used for actual "road races" for downshifting, the other is when you have my problem and that is real bad wheel spin or hopping. Check out the attach file. If you need details let me know. All i know is if i dont double-clutch ive lost the race from the getgo. So far though i agree w/ evryone on where to shift. I wouldnt axcactly say i shift right at peak because i end up about 200rpms past peak HP, but for you V-tech guys i would use a deserted road and test how much rpm drop you get when shifting and do your own V-tech calculating on where to shift. But dont be like some and think you need to tack it out to keep on the powerband. Remember, the amount of time your burning on going to your redline could be longer than shifting right after peak hp then having the motor revving back up to peak hp. Get out your timer, ive done some testing on MY car and have found its better to shift at or a little past peak than to go to redline just to keep your rpms up. But once again my peak torque is just below my peak hp which helps me jump back up to the "powerband". Well, that probably made no since but i tried. Thanks!
