With a traction limited car, the brake probably doesn't help much. It can be used though to hold the car and keep the rear end from loading up like without the brake. (which also helps on the launch)
If running slicks it is great. (I've never used any kind of street tire that ever hooked)
With the break you can also hold the rpm steady even without watching the tach usually. Giving a more consistent launch and testing opportunity.
I've known a few fellers who have made a '2-step' type of setup for launching full throttle at low RPM and leave great.
