If you didn't take your foot off the gas while engaging the clutch, you would rev the #*^$# out of your engine. Powershifting is, I believe, shifting while the pedal is floored without pushing in the clutch....Stock trannies will often blow third if you do this.

Not true. What happens under these conditions is called "flaring" and is a condition that is kept under control during proper powershifting. Check out this link for more on powershifting and grannyshifting. This information seems the most consistant and comes, in part, from a MMAFF article.

A simplification of Powershifting - keep gas floored, quickly apply glancing force to the clutch (not a full depression) and move the shifter to the next gear.
