Clutch switch rev limiter during shifts?

cbman · 03-19-2007, 11:35 PM

I was thinking if I have a clutch depress rev limit set in my program, which I already do, could I keep my foot on the gas pedal during shifts.

Theoretically it sounds good. When you push the clutch in to shift the revs are limited to a certain point. The throttle will still be open but the fuel and spark will just shut off occasionally(multiple times in < 1 sec.). So, if air is still flowing one might be able to keep the turbo spooled up during shifts.

Any issues or thoughts on this. I've never heard of anyone doing this.

Drag racers do this so they won't waste time rev the engine up again
