This can turn out to be a good discussion on how SRM works. Yes, I can see where the computer could be programmed to add fuel (increase in engine speed) if left in neutral for a small period of time during the upshift process or anticipating such but is that true? I know the purpose of SRM is to eliminate heel-toe for downshifts but you don't heel-toe for upshifts. There is no reason to. If I'm already at say 3500 rpm and for ready to upshift and the computer detects this as I move the shifter into the next higher gear, why would it want to increase the rpm? If the revs drop several hundred rpm (foot off gas, clutch in.....) and the shift is completed at say 3100 rpm without SRM, why would the computer want to increase the revs to say 3900 rpm if I wasn't planning on accellerating any more because I've reached my cruising speed? To me, that would cause a slight unwanted surge in speed. If that is what this discussion is about and I have explained this scenario correctly for SRM interaction in an upshift, then this would be a safety issue, no?
