I caught up that quick. Didn't pull a ton of lengths on him before I let off due to the car in front of me, but still enough of a difference IMO that it's worth it.

I've never done it, is it safe to do?
Sounds like it would be horrible on the clutch and transmission from what I've read :yikes:
I mean, there are arguments for and against it. Some say it will lessen the life of the clutch/trans & some say it won't. I'm not saying go out and do it, but I powershift at the track and it definitely helps a bit. You have to be able to shift fast, though.
I'd have to imagine there is a way to FTS (Full Throttle Shift) with the tuning software(s)? There are for virtually all other boosted cars (i.e WRX/MS3/Genesis). That would probably really help the issue you are having, but again, I don't know if that exists.

If the TB stays open, it can't get stuck closed, so I'd suspect I would like the results. Havent heard of any software that allows me to do that though...the WOT box, but I haven't really looked into that either.

Interesting, do you go to the Tuesday monthly meets on Griffin/I75? I'd like to check out this setup!

I have one now as well, after reading Clapper's post about it, and I can't imagine not having it now. I just drove the new MK7, I didn't think the clutch was ever going to catch.
The clutch stop is awesome, highly recommend it!

I do! I'd be happy to let you drive it. But yeah after having the clutch stop, I took it out for fun. HORRIBLE. Like he said ^ can't imagine not having it now.

I've noticed that when you put the clutch all the way down the shifts are almost never smooth for some reason, but when I depress the clutch only enough to disengage it (not taking it all the way down) the shifts are so much smoother and I rarely get that TB issue. I've been wanting to buy one of those clutch stop things.

It didn't fix the issue for me, but I did notice that I get it in a different gear now (which is extremely weird). I used to get it only shifting 3rd to 4th, now I only get it shifting 2nd to 3rd. I don't have a clue why that is though...
