Default Launching using Handbrake?

Hi guys, I just fitted a new boost controller and to test to make sure it was reading accurately I thought I would stall it up in my driveway.

Anyways I tried with the handbrake on (so I didnt run into the shed :P) and it got around 3psi and the car still wasnt moving, then later I tried without the handbrake and barely reached zero vaccuum before the car lurched forward.

Is it common for people with turbo cars to launch using the handbrake? Can I expect to be able to stall it up more using the foot brake only when my mickey thompsons are on and Im sitting in the staging lane?

I wish I had of tried this when I had the EB, Im sure my 60' would have dropped heaps!
