launching

I have vacuum brakes. DIY.

I pull thru the h2o box and clean em.

I do a short and to the point burnout with 255/50/16 MT drs

Next I pull up and hit the first light,

Then put it in neutral and rev the motor to build vacuum in the booster while pushing my foot down on the pedal (I try to stick my foot thru the floor)

Next I put it in gear and start building boost. When the car starts flexing, usually around 4-5 lbs I ease off the brake quickly for a split second to hit the second bulb and get the boost exactly where I want it to launch before the tree drops.

Hammer the shizzle out of it
