18 turns :-)
Once you get used to not flipping from one pedal to the next, it actually feels better. I can't say if it is faster, but I can say my best time at NYST this year was with left foot braking [and Hoosies R7 :-) ]
It is very very awkward the first month or two if not longer. Definitely takes commitment and practice on the road at city/low speeds.
On one of the Ross podcast the guest said that the endurance racers discourage left foot braking because it leads you to have both feet on the gas and brakes at the same time which leads to brake wear.
