In my day (ugh, I'm old )it meant shifting without lifting from WOT. In real life that didn't happen much simply because it isn't possible to use every available RPM and still power shift without exceeding safe revs unless power fell of way before redline. So it really amounted to an incredible fast shift with just the quickest and slightest lift in between. It may well have meant something different in the old hot rod days, and may be used today as nsxtasy suggested, but I hope it hasn't been twisted 180 degrees to mean something like rev matching. Man, I really am old, else this stuff wouldn’t bother me.
