brake pressure

[Joe DeMarzo]

Will a stocker leave the starting line for RT only faster, slower of the same whether I pump the brake before I stage or just roll in as at a traffic light? I leave at 1800 and holding it is not an issue.

Thoughts?

No difference 1800 is 1800 no matter how you get there,
your calf muscle would benefit that's it.

I think that reaction time has a lot more to do with your converter specs and where your front tires are with respect to the light beams than it does with brake pressure.

Front and rear tire pressure affect it too.

If you try to crowd the converter too much, your reaction times will probably slow down as the converter "gets tighter" and looses some of its ability to flash.

You may find your car launches well at 1800 rpm, but it may react quicker at 1700 rpm or it may react much slower if you try to launch at say 2300 rpm.

brake pressure is one component that affects whether you can hold the car to the point your converter will stahl, but I don't think it has that much to do with reaction time.

Chris thanks for chiming in, not sure what I
was thinking at the moment but I took 1800
for psi instead of rpm's .
Senior moment that was it, ah that's the ticket.

Now that I look at it again, he may be talking about brake psi.

Depends on how much. 100lbs won't slow you down but 500 may.
