You actually want the RPMs to drop a bit in the up shift to be closer to the synchros speed in the higher gear.
Make sense?

I do not blip on upshifts, sorry if what I wrote was confusing. Was just talking about downshifts. I just let the RPM fall, and I engage when the time is right. Or if I'm single clutching, I just shift with a purpose. Not as fast as I can, just with a purpose, and I release the clutch when the RPM's match.
