Under power, I generally end up shifting into third at around 70 something mph... So why not down shift to there when I wanna go suddenly... again, tap the throttle to get it wound, don't aim for some unworldly specific number, just ease the clutch out and continue giving it a little gas until the clutch is fully out.... You are "rev" matched...
