brake boost?

[SickEk]

ok i was watching a video and it says to brake boost when racing v8's etc. When ever i race i try and be in the right speed for boost to be kicking in. does anyone else on here brake boost? and is it really just hold the brake and push the gas?? sorry for the newbish question.

Look at them suckers glowing!
I don't think it's really a good thing to brake boost, unless you can afford rotors+pads?

prosport gauges ftw!

but, yeah brake boosting will wear down your pads pretty quickly if you do it a lot.

its to build boost while your car is rolling; to reduce boost lag. its like a 2 step, but nothing is done to your car (like adding a chip or an msd ignition). its just brake + gas. i only did it a couple times and never got above 6lbs before i thought of the torment my brakes were going through.

prosport blows, there EGT gauge lasted a whole 20 mins. then the sensor melted. cheap ass gauges

i tried break boosting one time and failed... ill just have to live with the 2 secs of lag

brake boosting it stupid. if you are racing from a roll, your rpms should be high enough to have instant boost anyways. why put added stress on your braking components? you arent going to gain s**t, if you are faster you are going to win. brake boosting wont magically make your car beat cars that are faster than you...

instant boost? i dont know about that my turbo is relativly small and even i dont have instant boost

^ true i also have a small turbo but it takes a second or two to get into it.

with the cost of pads/rotors you could just make a hand throttle. I have yet to put one on any of my DD rides but i did have one on my Toyota. Allowed me to have three feet. About a 2hr install if done right.

i have a hybrid and would guess that im near full boost in about a second. definitely worth saving my brakes over...

I watched that same video... I have to admit... I didn't know what the hell it was that he was talking about....
