    When it comes to racing for money i say power shift. But other than that Granny shift is good enough.
    You can always tell how there shifting by the engine noise too.

    The Granny Shifters sound like this- Waaaaaaaaa! -moment of silence- Wuh, Waaaaaaaaa!

    The good Speed Shifters sound like this- Waaaaaaa !-tiny delay- Waaaaaaaa! With less rpm drop the engine does not bog down going into the next gear-

    The Power Shifters sound like this Waaaaaaa! WHAA! Waaaaaaa! WHAA! Waaaaaa! WHAA! Waaaaa! The rpms not only don’t drop- they actually go up between shifts since the throttle is wide open the whole time!
