So im running into the issue of still brake torquing yet rolling forward enough to trip a red light. I just upgraded my brake lines to SS braided and that has helped a little bit, but i need more. I have a 4200 rpm stall but at 3800 i cant hold it anymore, even w/ the ebrake pulled. This is causing my launches to bog and horrible 60' times (2.2's) which is leading to bad 1/4 times (high 13's) but my MPH are killer (105). Any advice to help keep her on the line and improve my times?

I'm really having the exact same problem, so I can't offer much advice, but I am interested in hearing if anyone else knows. I've bled the brakes and checked for leaks many times, and nothing comes up.

What you guys have Spaghetti legs? Hit the gym and build some leg muscles. I'm holding 25psi on the line no problem , but I have strong legs. In all seriousness though, I've heard there is a brakebooster mod which can help keep you fom pulling through the brakes. The main thing is to have the peddle pressed very firmly before building boost. Sometimes it helps if you brace your thigh against the steering wheel and use it like a fulcrum.

I thought i was holding down enough, guess i'll have to mash it harder since i do have pretty strong legs. What about the brake solenoid from B&M?
my car just creeps forward all the time..... i honestly have it floored the brake all the way.. nothing else helps what can i dooo
i wanan go to the track today
ugggh this sucks
i bled my brakes... i brake harder but i still wont stay still past 3k rpm's
any other ideas? i have stock 98 gsx brakes.. my e brake is non-existance practically... so what else can i do.. i really need to fix this problem so i dont roll forward its extremely annoying

Brake booster = big black thing behind your master cylinder.Djwired said:
It uses vaccumm to assist you when you apply the brakes, there is a check valve in the line that goes to it though so it doesn't see boost since its not designed to work under pressure; just vacuum. If it isn't storing vaccumm as it should then when you are under boost you will be doing all the braking work yourself instead of the booster helping you or if it is getting boost pressure it may actually be fighting you.
It is unlikely that it is bad but its something to check.

Has anyone used those line lock things from B&M?
well i hve like 1/2 pedal room of play......
like.. i dont slow down/stop till like i press the brake like.. 1/2 way down... mayb a little less, but u know what i mean
there is lots of play like a clutch would have
do you know what this could be? or just.. normal? im not 100% sure
i bled my brakes today (my first time..?) it feels a little tougher when i stop.. i went to the track today and pulled off a 1.8 60 foot with a 13.05 1/4 mile time
only with 93 octane tho... blaah.. whatever i just couldnt build enough booost i know i should have launched better but i kept rolling forward!! pissing me off

Rev the car in nuetral right as you pull up to the staging light and slam the brake. Then wait till the RPM comes low enough to put it into gear. You will be able to hold the car better. I had stock stock breaks and was able to hold my car without any problems with 22psi on a Big 16g. Make sure everything is in 100% working order.

I should've mentioned that....I bought a Crane vacuum reserve tank, that sits in between the brake booster and the intake manifold.Hummer said:
Is that where you mounted yours Bob?

Actually, that's a great question. I'll have to test the difference when I get my 95 on the road.Hummer said:
