Default What exacty is break boosting?

ok i get the idea... i think. you hold the gas and break so you don't speed up, but you have boost for your launch? Right? i am going by my best guess here and i saw that video of the 500 hp civic and he kept breakboosting to beat v8's. just got my wondering what it is.

that's what i believe, instead of giving it partial gas to stay a certain speed, and only have like 1psi built up, you give it a good amount of throttle while pressing the brake to keep your speed in check with whoever you racing.

i believe this is pretty much just for racing from a roll.

When used with double clutching it can add 90mph to your trap speed.

I've heard of people setting their e-brake at the line and preloading the transmisission a little bit so it's not a sudden shock. I don't really know all that much about it but I wouldn't brake boost unless I was absolutely desperate to beat somebody.

And make sure you never let a v8 get the torque jump. The kid who made that video is a ****** ricer, look somewhere else to get your cool guy terminology.
