Like it was said earlier... the Prelude is front wheel drive, ie. during acceleration the weight is in essence pushed back, therefore off the front wheels. During the shift the front traction is lighter due to the weight transfer and it's quite easy to chirp them even with a slow shift. My stock '89 n/a will chrip between 1st and 2nd sometimes. So it is possible. You don't want the chirp anyway, that just means you're not getting all the power transfered to the ground. Ie. the Prelude will serve you brake lights sooner.

"prolly a safety feature so you dont blow the tranny"
actually shifting that high into your rev is difficult cause there isnt enough space in the tranny. the gears in there a lil close together, thats why shifting at high rpms and powershifting is a lil difficult.
theres a guy in town here does trannys and hes stretched out a 7 tranny a bit so theres more space and now powershifting is pretty easy at high revs like 8k.
i woulda set my turbo tranny up like that but i couldnt afford the money.

My rear end steps out to the side shifting into 2nd and 3rd it spins so much. sometimes if im cruising in first and punch it at 4k, just as the boost spools up...it will spin then too.

Chirping sucks.
Chirp = slower than without chirp.
Having to damage parts in your car to chirp isn't cool.
What you need is a 500-600 HP 3 rotor tri turbo and then you can "chirp" just by pressing the gas in all the way.

Quick shifts is what you need!! If ur racing don't be a baby and worry bout things breaking cuz u've already committed to racing so u might as well try to smoke his *** and worry bout things being broken later. Breaking things also means you have to fix things and have an excuess to upgrade and add performance parts to your car.
