that sure is what it is sounding like to me too, but supposedly rev matching is supposed to be faster, but nobody seems to be able to explain it for me...
Rev matching is good for longer life on syncros. There is no need to revmatch in drag racing. Revmatching does nothing for racing, other than align your transmission and engine revs so they are aligned, and the syncros helps this alignment. If they are not alighned the sryncros help aligh this, therefore the more out of rev your trans is to your engine, then more your making your syncros work to align them both!!

Who told u this. If you search in the transmission section i swear i saw a video some one posted about different shifting. from double clutching, to single clutch to to revmatching etc!!
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

the only use i've ever had for rev matching is during downshifting. There's no time or reason to put the clutch in, pop the car out of gear, rev the motor and shift to the next gear while upshifting.

Thread about Powershifting: The Thread
Quote:
It's 100% STUPID and not the quickest way to accelerate anyway. It's a monkey's way of shifting. 
Rev matching makes for quicker shifting, less damage/wear, and still keeps the throttle plate open. However it also takes a lot more skill to do it quickly.
Quote:
Powershifting is not better on ANY car. PERIOD.
Most people "powershift" because they CAN'T shift correctly. It's as simple as that.
It is quicker to rev match then to speed dump the clutch while the engine bounces off the redline. The less the syncros have to work the faster you can shift.
but the thread never says how to use rev matching in a drag, just that it is better, however I have the problem is that I can't find any info on how to use rev matching in a quick way; everything I find describes using rev matching during downshifting and double clutching. Which leaves us with my origional question of how it is supposed to help.

This thread needs to die. Rev matching, as well as double clutching, is a technique employed while downshifting and there is no reason to apply to drag racing.

sorry about not letting this just die, but if power-shifting really is fastest, then why are some of the fastest quarter mile times for a 'tour "supposedly" done rev-matching?
and if they were indeed set using this shifting methood, why can't the benefit of this procedure be explained?
