Thank you for your response, I have heard of the brake override or BOA before, but it seems to be a real hit or miss on which years of these trucks seem to allow it.
What you mentioned seems to make the most sense so far as to what would be the cause of my issue, because as of it right now it will not even chirp the tires with the brakes held, and the rev limiter is dead on 1500.

Are you familiar with what specific management system would need to be tuned out to eliminate this feature?
No prob. I am not, your best best is probably to reach out to one of the tuning companies.

You’re most likely encountering brake-over-accelerator (BOA) intervention. After Toyota’s unintended acceleration coverup and subsequent lawsuits and government fines, all manufacturers tightened down on BOA strategies.

When the PCM sees that the brake and accelerator are being pressed simultaneously, it limits engine RPM and power output. It will also record the event in a PID counter. The first time you did it the PCM counter was probably at zero; subsequent attempts may have caused it to enter a de-rate mode.
He's most likely encountering puberty, which is pretty much the only time a brake stand is acceptable.

Agreed. sounds like you need a whipple.
The whipple helps but then he'll take his stock rear leafs and turn them into pretzels or break something really expensive so then he needs springs and traction bars then might as well 4-link, at least that's been my thoughts.
