In the 70's we called it speed shifting. You're correct, he did it right. We used to say "shift like you're trying to break the gear shift and stomp the clutch like you're trying to stomp a hole in the floor". Almost forgot "Hold the gas pedal down like you're trimming your toenails on the fan blade."
So does anyone know what happened when he dumped the clutch? Looks like it bogged, or wanted to stall, but he caught it. I don't get it. Wish the sound was a little better, to fully appreciate the powershifts.
Its a 440 sixpack car. The six pack refers to the three two barrel carbs. The outboard carbs are vacuum operated. When i am at the line revving it for launch those carbs are closed. When you let the clutch out it is still on the center carb and it has very little power and you have to wait for the outboard carbs to open. The sticky tires and track conditions bog it down and once the carbs open it takes off.
Yes sir undoubtedly power shifting at its correctness 👍🏼👍🏼 tired of seeing these other guys on the tube calling their shifting “power shifting “ when they always lift on accelerator in between clutch dumps …

"The Automatic Transmission is directly responsible for the wussification of America" - A very wise Man I have yet to try this in my Roadrunner, man I need to nut up and give it a shot. Nice work and keep banging gears!
Banging gears is fun , but the serious race cars run glides and 400 trans. With the exception of pro stock, ,,, planetary stick shifts. The problem with a manual ,in a mega power track car, the chassis loads and unloads, possibly causing bad things to happen . Still love a manual though.
worst case you gotta rebuild the tranny, if you learn how to rebuild it yourself you’ll have a lot more fun powershifting knowing that whatever goes wrong, you know how to fix it!
@michaeldeloach838 I think it's because with vacuum booster plbrakes you don't have brakes at low rpms with a big cam, needs to be reverse up to get vacuum.
That makes me miss my 70 Challenger... although at the tender age of 20, I didn't possess the shifter skills this man does! I admire the fact that a guy that owns a near six figure car (or more than six figures on BAT!) is willing to drive it like it is meant to be driven!!
Actually floating gears is what truckers used to do on the high r.p.m. engines from 50s,60s and earley 70s.By floating your gears your clutch could last Much longer ! But you have to listen close to the r.p.m.s and the shifter floats right into gear. Whether shifting up or down. Todays trucks are low r.p.m.machines and floating gears is obsolete. Focus and care for what you put all your overtime $ in.
Perfect execution of power shifting. This guy could give a clinic on the proper technique of power shifting. It takes a lot of practice to get it right and not miss a shift.
Kinda quiet but fun to watch. Thats exactly how all manual musclecars should be driven. Seemed like 1-2 and 2-3 were a little short but again i couldnt even hear the motor revving. I knew the phone was gonna slide back in the seat, LoL. Looked like a 12.50s pass maybe?
One night, mix in some beer, three friends and I took turns banging gears in my 64 GTO convertible. Cost me about $100 at the time for a Pontiac clutch.
For you drum brake guys buy Porterfield shoes. They stop as good OR BETTER then disc brakes !!! And they are not hard on your drums ! They are a real good compound, all organic not metallic. You guys will thank me for this one. And they don't fade !!!
It seems like you could certainly use a short throw shifter. But that might not be the point you are making. I assume you run the car "as is" with no modern improvements that would not have been available when the car was new. If so, I can appreciate your nostalgic approach and demonstration of what cars were like "back in the day"!
Thats awesome a real mccoy super bee w 70 k holy shit can I be your new best friend ?lol ill help you work on it .. Does uncle tony know about this car ? Lol
I'd rebuild the shifter and new bushings in shifter rod linkage if stock shifter is required in your class. If not, Hurst Super Shifter! PS. Get your r's a little higher before dumping the clutch
@@michaelmoline7058 yuppers. I just put a brand new super comp Hurst shifter on my super t10, in my 81 Camaro. I haven't drove the car yet but I did put hardened steel bushings in it with heavy duty spring clips. Got it from a shop in Florida. Seems super tight now, compared to the stock wore out shifter that was in it.. Can't wait!
Cool shifting, but please get your brakes fixed, you're scaring me having to pump the brakes and seeing the pedal hit the floor a couple times. 😀 Be safe.
As having grown up with A 396 4 speed in my Camaro I have to say I absolutely love his brake work that car has almost no breaks continually pumping it and it's going to the floor remind me of mine Except he wasn't breaking transmissions in half( He has a better transmission)
Used to power shift in my 03 Mitsubishi eclipse. Slow as all hell but beat all my other stock buddy’s cause I could find the next gear just a lil bit quicker than them.
It has a six pack and the outboard carbs take a while to open. When i put the drag radial on it, it bogs because it had too much traction. Now i bounce it off a two step and that allow the outboard carbs to be open when I let the clutch out.
Good job. Most people that think they’re power shifting have no idea how to. You did it right and lifted your foot off the gas pedal. It’s kind of a lost art.
He didn't lift. The camera was shaking, maybe that's what you saw. Powershifting..."Dump the clutch, right foot to the radiator, and never stop pushing, till the traps."
@@thepowershift Guess with time one gets used to how to operate even a wet noodle. For a single stick shifter i use only the Comp + and the first thing i do is get rid of the nylon bushings and replace them with the metal ones and i keep a spare pack because i am picky about any risky slop anywhere in any of my cars. But then that is just me as a M.V.I.'s way of seeing thing on and off the job. No hate just me being me and noticing things. What's the dumb phone for? G force meter app or was it wifie phoning to find out where your hiding and what time you will be home?Still enjoyed watching you stabbing at it. P.S. Have a giggle on me when you translate my family name from French to English.
Nice shifting. What time did it run and MPH? My 70 V-code Roadrunner was running 13.3 with wheelspin or creeping off the line then matting it. My MPH at 106 tells me I could run high 12s w/traction and a better launch.
@@thepowershift Nice, and thanks for the video and the reply. I have 315/35/17 Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials, but I still smoked 'em if I laid into it. The 440 in my 70 V-code is a 71 block, but has the real "6 pack" rods, crank (w/offset weight on the dampener), and stock bore flat top pistons w/"eyebrow" valve reliefs. It has the old school Direct Connection 292°/.509 cam, Comp Cams hyd lifters, springs, locks, and retainers, and TTi 1⅞" headers. I swapped in 4.10 gears when I swapped in a Passon Performance 855 5-speed, hanging on to my Passon tweaked 18 spline "Hemi" 833 4 speed just in case. It had the Track Pack 3.54 gears, but with the OD 5th gear I'm turning 750 RPMs less in 5th w/4.10s than I did in 4th w/3.54s and gears 1-4 are a lot more fun. I assume you have the factory 4.10 gears? That's a LOT of RPMs on the highway!
Sounds like fun. My car is an original wore out 4 speed car with the 4.10’s in it. I drove it 515 miles to Tucson Raceway and made 11 passes the day this video was filmed. Then i drove it 200 miles to Phoenix and made three more passes and to finish up the event, i went another 360 miles to Fontana and made another 8 passes. This car is like an anvil. Its been all over the western US and made passes in 4 states. I love it.
When the devil finished, Johnny said, "well, you're pretty good, ol' son But sit down in that chair right there And let me show you how it's done" Charlie Daniels
In my day , this was referred to as speed shifting. Not a big deal. The pro cars, super stock , grumpy era cars actually power shifted. On a super T10, or M22. You had to shave off every other synchro gear. Then drivers could actually power shift. Full throttle, no clutch.
Actually thats called slick shifting. All the original cars. Sox and martin, grumpy, and others shifted this way. Called a power shift and sometimes referred to as speed shifting. But this is the fastest way to shift a car with a stock trans. Not many people today can do it. Back in the day a lot of people did it. Today a lot of the stick shift classes have outlawed dogged transmissions for clutchless operation.
@@thepowershift, I raced in SS-E for a brief time. A local Chevy dealer bought one of grumpys 68 camaros. I had modified L78. 69 chevelle. That i bought new. Long time ago.
What year Mopar? Pedal off the line to get it to hook? Hard to get my '67 RS/SS Big Block to bite on Stock rubber. LOL! The interior/head liner looks like '68Z28 I gave my grandson last year, he just turned 2. Had it in the Barn 30+yrs.
That was floored but the secondaries are vacumm operated and with a sticky tire it will bog. It needs a two step rev limiter to get the secondaries open on the line before I dump the clutch. Get thay Camaro out and use it!
That's how Grump silenced all the guys .. who were telling him that he can't beat an auto trans car with a 4 spd manual box🤣. Oh and, congratulations on finding an A12. Mopar #1 always been chased, rarely passed. Hey, are you using a 2 disc or single?
As a GM guy it hurts to say this, but MOPAR definitely had the more robust 4-speed. I've replaced too many parts on my Muncie and have made the decision to convert to the TH400.
I used to drive a 70 chevelle daily with an M21. It had a hurst comp plus shifter. It also made 300hp but it used to shift decent. I could powershift it but again it was on a street tire and made no power.
What's the big deal...flatboard gas, hold it there, use clutch and shift. Repeat. I did it dozens of times. It breaks stuff. Like syncros, driveshafts, axles. And you have to steer with one hand, risking accident on street. Automatics are faster, and your 2 hands never leave the wheel.
Powershifting one of those esp 2-3 takes some skill!! To all the keyboard racers this IS powershifting and exactly how its done. Go back to your video games.
Now that's how you old school shift right there folks. Knee slappin the steering wheel and slamming those gears at the very top and kept her matted.😆😆😆👍🇺🇸💪
4 on the floor, Manual launch control and old school no lift shift. Breaks are sketchy AF though. Camaro Gen 5 Launch control - no lift shift. ruclips.net/video/YyxepnJTBoU/видео.html
i couldn't help but notice that this Super Bee appears to have NO breaks! this guy was pushing the break pedal almost all the way to the floor! i would not have run that car in that condition.
@@michael4265 i have a collection of old mopars muscle cars and you really have to stand on the brakes on the drum brake cars. but i have at least a half a pedal on all of them. this "A12" looks like there's no brake fluid in the master cylinder!
It’s so funny watching RUclips people “powershift”. You are actually doing it correctly ... old school style. Nice work!

That brake pedal seems to go down pretty far.
yeh, i was thinking that. Pumping it too. Spongy brakes/air?
also a lot of play in the shifter.
Basically no useful brakes and grabs the cellphone 😂
Notice that right away
Probably because it has manual brakes
Drum brakes do that.
Very cool brings back great memories, and I even had to pump my break pedal too, lol
Thats from air in the system. If you had bled all the air out no need to pump them. Even a little bit of air in the system makes the pedal spongy

Very nice but, amigo please bread your breaks
4 on the floor, Manual launch control and old school no lift shift.
Breaks are sketchy AF though.
Camaro Gen 5 Launch control - no lift shift. ruclips.net/video/YyxepnJTBoU/видео.html
Awesome video!
Nice!!!
Is it just me or does the brake pedal seem to go awfully low?
Its pretty low
not bad for an oil baron.......
What was that?
i couldn't help but notice that this Super Bee appears to have NO breaks! this guy was pushing the break pedal almost all the way to the floor! i would not have run that car in that condition.
that's why no one will remember your name.
@@michael4265 i have a collection of old mopars muscle cars and you really have to stand on the brakes on the drum brake cars. but i have at least a half a pedal on all of them. this "A12" looks like there's no brake fluid in the master cylinder!
@@jimharvard that’s his problem
@@michael4265 it won't be just "his problem" if he runs out of shut-down area and crashes and kills someone
@@jimharvard he a grown man, he can make his own decisions, just like standing at the end of the track.
Looks like a lot of looseness in that shifter!
Looked like drum brakes, ?
Stock four wheel drums. You are correct!
Nice
Looks like a 70 model dash.
Its a 69. 69/70 use same dash.
