When shifting think of the shift knob as a raw egg. slamming gears is no faster. REALLY watch missed shifts, your rev limiter won't help you there.
On my last track day at Laguna Seca, I had a friend who blew a motor from a money shift. No power shifting and just be really mindful of your shifting because it's easy to get carried away when your adrenaline is pumping.

As for me, I have over 150k miles with a lot of track/autoX events on record along with a valve spring recall finished.
