what does "hard" mean, like your pedal is hard to push?

was the squeeling noise coming from the tires trying to grip or from the engine?

the thing i dont get is why do the brakes get hard if im not stepping on the brakes when i burn out so then is it that the engine is pulling to much air outta the brake booster?

brake booster works with vaccum .. = anytime the throtle body is close or the engine is in decompression

I would think it to be caused by the throttle off vacuum change.

i think the real question is, why are you burning out in the first place?

Agreed.

OP explain the process of doing a burn out. Are you selecting the "D" option and then stepping on the smaller of the two pedals?
