power braking

hmmm My 2012 2ss/rs will not power brake. If i hold the brake down just enough to stop the vehicle from rolling and try to spin the rear tires i dont get any RPM untill i let off the brake. even in comp mode.

Like they said, hold the button down, everything will light up on the dash, then MASH! Really not much braking even required unless u just wanted to smoke out the hood.

trust me- Ive done this over a hundred times at the track, before my line lock was installed.

Ok ill try holding the button down. sry about this im confused cause iv tried holding the button down for 10 sec nothing happens if i press the button twice both lights come on maybe i need to hold it down longer
