No. Change normally. It wont make you any faster, and the equipment will last longer.

 

You sound like you're heading in the wrong direction. Smooth is what you need to be. Smooth is fast.

it would flat change like a dogbox it would be faster but usually with a synchro box its faster with the clutch

If you treat a box like that - not long

 

Another for smooth changing. You may (most likely may not) save a pooftenth of a second flat shifting, but the shock loading is gonna break traction and kick you sideways costing you bulk time. As Red said, smooth = fast, and he is one to listen too.

 

Buy the way, I only killed one K40 in over 10 years of motorsport - back into first gear at 50km/h took teeth of first gear.

so do yous jus pull the stick no clutch without lifting the throttle and it goes in.. how many gearchanges do they last

 

There's no way you'll get it out of first without lifting off the throttle or using the clutch. Getting it into the next gear isn't so much of a problem, its just getting it out of the gear the currently has load on it.

 

I spent my last outing to the dragway flatshift all gear all day, But:

1, I have a K-T50, although this still isn't indestructable.

2, I was only doing to stop the boost dropping off so much in gear changes. In an NA car I would pay my gearbox some resepect and use both feet. :D
