Is this bad???
When I'm cruising at like 70mph and in 6thgear, is it bad to drop from 6th right to 4th so that I can jump high into the rpm range for the extra power or should i be going down only one gear at a time?
I had an 87 300zx turbo, and I would do that get that big boost, but now that I'm older (and hopefully a little wiser) I don't want to do that if it could have negative longterm effects.

Thanks in advance for you help..
