If you're getting an SRM throttle blip on a 4-5 UP shift, you're being very sloppy. SRM blips under two circumstances: 1) moving horizontally across a gate in the neutral position between 5-6, 3-4 and 1-2 in a leftward direction or 2) moving 'up' into a gear within the same vertical gate (6->5, 4->3, or 2->1).

If you're in 6th with SRM on and just shift to neutral (between 3-4) you'll get a blip for 4th gear rpm. If you then push 'up' into 3rd, you'll get a second blip for 3rd gear rpm.

Shifting up the gears (1->2->3->4->5->6) should never give blips if done properly and cleanly. However, SRM will hold a proper lower RPM for an upshift if you shift very slowly. This RPM will be lower than what you had for the lower gear though so it's not a blip.

If your car is increasing RPM during an upshift (eg 4->5), you're either being sloppy with your shifting motion or your SRM is f'd up.
