Learn something new. Brake Boosting. Is this accurate? (Found in another non-Pcar forum)

And away from wearing brake system what other downsides if any??

1. go to the best gear for whatever mph you are gonna race from

2. while still on the gas gently press the brake pedal, you'll want to press it hard enough
that it starts slowing you down. But to keep from slowing down you apply more throttle.

3. The harder you ride your brakes the more load you put on your enigine. the more load you put on your engine the more boost you will build. (keep an eye on your gauge)

4. And as soon as you are ready to start go WOT and at the same time release the brakes, and that lovely sensation of boost is already there waiting for you rather than you waiting for it.

The key is to find just the right anount of preassure to apply on each pedal but that becomes very easy with a little pratice.

Yes that's how you do it & it's definitely fun ,but i'm pretty sure you can't do it on a stock car & also not all tunes allow this feature, i don't think you can't do it with Giac but you can definitely do it with Protomotive.Takes a little practice but really does give you a shot out of cannon feel

3rd or 4th gear roll and brake boost. From a dead stop 1st and 2nd go by to fast to really feel it.

Also have someone drive your car and sit in the passenger seat works too
