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.

people have been brake boosting for ever ... its not too bad on your brake's and yes it just build up boost so when you mash it and let off the brake your boost is already built up

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. :S The kid who made that video is a faggot ricer, look somewhere else to get your cool guy terminology. :-\
