I am trying to get my e-brake adjusted so I can use it to hold boost at the line. I have it adjusted so the pedal only goes down three clicks and it holds the car fine on an incline. Problem is, I can drive right through it when I give the car gas. Soft shoes are adjusted so they just drag and I have S-10 cylinders. What am I doing wrong?
 
If the e-brake held the front brakes, then you would not push it through. But what you're missing is that the e-brake holds the drive wheels, so once you apply throttle, torque is applied to the drive wheels and they do what they're suppose to do, drive.
 
Thanks for the reply. NOCOOLER told me that I had to use the foot brake in addition to the e-brake. That makes sense, now that I think about it, which I didn't do before (think about it). :)
