shifting tips anyone?

Lately I've been wondering if I'm speed shifting the right way to get the most out of the car. I'm curious how much the driver can effect a race from a roll, assuming the driver does not miss a shift. Now I can shift pretty fast but what is the ideal way the clutch and gas are applied during speed shifting?

is it, split second before letting the clutch out you give the car full throttle?

Save your self the time, hassle, and $$ by learning NOT how to speed shift your AWD car. Instead learn how to shift it smoothly and precisely. Your car will love you after 100k miles (or 20k however long you have the car hehe.)

unless you're racing, you want to try to be smotth as possible on an awd car for daily driving.
you will damage the car if you keep speed shifting.
