I've been driving around a bit and I can feel the torque dip so I constantly shift at 3k.
Regarding when I engage I can't really say .. maybe consistently around 1.8k, I never checked.
I personally don't find too much engine speed drop because I never Fully let off the gas until the shifter is right about to go into the 'socket'.
That's when I do a soft reversed blip where I let off the gas and clutch and then get on the gas immediately .. may not be the best way but for some reason I find myself doing this.

Even if he is talking about the smoothest way to make a shift it still doen't make any sense.
He doesn't take his foot off the gas until he's moving the shifter into the next gear? What? Powershifting is the least smooth way to do it. What the fuck is a reverse blip?
I'm almost sure he was talking about the fastest way to accerate the car. Why else would he mention a torque spike at 3k RPM?
