What shifting techniques do u use on asphalt without an override, I stay on the throttle and slap the clutch just like on dirt, but my cousin told me to just let out the throttle and pull the shifter, which would be faster, and what r y'all doin?

How would letting out on the throttle help you in any way on any drag race?
"You lift, You Loose"

Your doing it the way I would...

you don't have to let off completely, just a little bit. enough to unweight the motor. I broke the clutch perch out in the desert last weekend. I had no choice but to throttle shift.

Exactly, that's your last resort...
Your shifts forks are screaming when you do that...
Powershifting isn't near as bad as not using the clutch at all, i don't think.
But still, no matter how you look at it... "You lift, You Loose"
