Why I Toe/Heel-Heel/Toe - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

The "keep the turbo spooled up" explanation makes sense, especially in a corner that requires braking but not a downshift. I guess that would be true for a NA car, too.

I think the other (or main) reason LFB was 'invented" is because it takes less time to transition from braking to accelerating. You can start squeezing the gas while the left foot is still over the brake pedal.

When I first started LFB'ing I felt like it helped me manage the weight transfer of the car (by overlapping the pressure on the two pedals), but I was probably kidding myself and only wearing my brake pads faster and over heating the brakes unnecessarily. :-)
