    I guess the motor flows really well or I am getting a lot of VANOS advance becuase everyone else with this pulley makes 11-12 psi.

    Untill he brake boosted, I might have pulled on him a little.

    No, you did pull just slightly till you let off, he brake-boosted on the 2nd run....... Should've kept in it the first run, it would've gotten 'interesting'

    I had a blast guys, I almost jumped when we hit your goal Thomas.
    I was at 11psi and he was right next to me, he kind of pulled 1/2 a car on me, the second run I had to brake boost and I jumped 1/2 car.. Nice runs I'm going to bed happy.

    It refers to riding the brakes a bit, to load the engine, to spool the turbo a bit quicker. I just learned this tonight as well

    Holding the brakes to provide engine load to build boost on a turbo car.

    Its used by turbo cars during highway pulls:
    The brake is used to hold speed, load the engine, and spool the turbo. Its a technique to maintain a lower starting speed while keeping boost up.

    Well, boost that early is only cheating if it's not a TRM kit
