But if I have the clutch pressed in and in gear THEN rev and release the clutch doesn't that act as the same purpose of downshifting to neutral THEN revving and THEN placing in gear and releasing the clutch? By the time you get into the gear and release the clutch shouldn't the engine rpms be low enough not to be effective since you're revving in neutral? I know you want to speed up the tranny to the speed you're about rev the motor to but isn't it the same just to go into the desired gear WITH the clutch pressed IN then blip the throttle while RELEASING the clutch? I've seen lots of auto-x and track vids and they always show the "pedal" cam and this is what they do. I haven't seen any of them go to neutral, rev, then downshift and release the clutch. Before they go into the corners they start slowing down while getting into the desired gear and while braking they blip the throttle and release the clutch to match rev. IMO...
