Pro shift 1/2

The car
1970 beetle
13b rotary turbo. Eat 325-375 hp
1900lbs
Gearbox 5 rib bus, weddle guts. 4.56 R/p.
Shift rpm 8000rpm
Clutch rev 6 2disc
I recently had the transmission upgraded to a spool (broke the super diff ) and while in there I had the 1/2 upgraded to pro shift. The car is just used for grudge racincing at the track and sometimes on asphalt. I have never had a pro shift trans but I decided to try it since my 1/2 shift has been giving me issues because of the high rpm shift point. I left 3/4 synchronized because the car is street driven occasionally and needs to be for "street legal no prep racing" . My question is under full boost at the top of first can I shift 2nd without clutching or lifting? I have the option of momentarily cutting the spark during my shift to unload the gear, could I use that and no clutch to shift? How long will the pro ring last?
