WOT shifting. its just that, you shift while leaving the accelerator down. gotta be quick, keep the throttle wide open and shift. its not particularly good for the transmission though.

you can buy a "wot box" that will eliminated hurting your transmission. without a wot box you will mess up synchros in the tranny,mainly 3rd gear

in the mopar stage kits they have a boost hold feature which is about the same thing....except to save their butts they say "blip" the clutch....it is a really cool feature....you just keep the pedal to the metal...."blip" the clutch and shift fast and hard at redline and your car will fly into gear with out loosing the boost pressure and hardly any rpms....giving you zero lag shifts.....great for racing.....other then that its just beating on it....very fun....first to second is the hardest gear to boost hold or powershift into flawlessly....
