I'm not going to argue with you. You have your definition, I have mine (which I stated as such above). There are transmissions that are built to handle shifts without the clutch. I rarely use those terms anyway for just this reason. I just describe the different techniques.
Anyway.... Nick, we'll have to line up again. I caught crap on the way home. I was really focusing on launch RPM and didn't even pay attention to the lights. I looked up and you were gone!
If you go with the Tick Master, there is a good write-up on LS1Tech that Chris Stewart did.

Also the only tranmissions you can shift without a clutch are upwards of $8000. Here's a link:

I know there are some in my area that are using some type of proshifted trans w/ a slipper clutch and shifting it without the clutch. I'm pretty sure they aren't spending 8k on them either.

That run against you yesterday (time slip farthest to the right, below) netted me my new best quarter mile pass ever, thanks dude.

Actually being very aggressive and no regard to the cost of my replacement transmission you could easily shift a Fox body mustang T5 without the clutch. Thats how I picked up my shifting habits. If you weren't fast with it, it didnt go. Slightly crunch and it made one heck of a difference on ET. Back then dropping from a 13.6 to a 13.3et and going from 101 to 104mph was interesting. Hell I thought that little bit was worth it too at the time. WHAT A RETARD!!!!!!
Nick something just doesnt add up. The car is missing something or getting some serious knock retard at the track only????? IS THAT POSSIBLE? I'll talk to you on AIM about some things I was thinking about that i dont want to start anything in here. Good job this year anyways and we'll get it next year I PROMISE YOU THAT!!!!!!!! Even if i have bring your sorry butt up my way for a weekend, start friday nite at cecil practicing and go all out on saturday. You can stay here and we'll get that car JUST RIGHT FOR THE TRACK!!!!

When I went 11.20 it was 3330 with me in it. 3130 without me. I estimate it was roughly 3080 without me and 3280 with me yesterday.

Interesting. I used your time slip above where you ran 11.487 at 121.89 and put it into an online calculator. Here is what I got:
This one adds the weather into the equation.
Your HP is 416 from your ET
Your HP is 449 from your MPH
Your HP Correction Factor is 0.98
Your Grains of water is 11
Your DA (Density Altitude) is -1,631 feet
Your Altitude Density Index is 104.9 percent
This one is simply ET and MPH related to HP (no weather considerations):
Your HP computed from your vehicle ET is 351.27 rear wheel HP and 390.30 flywheel HP.
Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 417.02 rear wheel HP and 463.36 flywheel HP
I would pay attention to the ones using MPH rather than ET. Our cars do not do very well with the ET calculators especially if there are issues like your clutch problems.

As a point of reference, here is my best pass ever. My last dyno showed 595rwhp
Your HP computed from your vehicle ET is 554.78 rear wheel HP and 616.42 flywheel HP.
Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 597.85 rear wheel HP and 664.84 flywheel HP.
