Brake boost[for lack of a better term], is the process of putting the Auto trans in gear, from a stop, standing on the brake, bringing up the RPM's to around 3000 RPM, and at the green light , release the brake and haul bootie.
It loads up the convertor in the trans, and makes the car launch harder. "Moon'

you can brake boost while driving at any speed have any of yall roll raced before? easiest way is to floor it and while flooring it apply brake pressure until it puts a load against the engine. the turbo will spool up and create boost and if your roll racing after the three honks you take off the brake pedal at 20 psi or whatever your at boost wise. It creates a good jump on the other cars since your already at full boost.
