The point of heel-toeing is to brake and downshift at the same time.

does this go for street as well? because i coast a blip quickly before i downshift.
Well you can do what you want on the street... If I'm coasting slowly towards, say, slow-moving traffic ahead and I don't need to brake, I'll blip the throttle as I downshift through the gears so that I'll already be in the right gear when traffic speed picks up again. If I'm in a hurry to get through a yellow left-turn signal, I'll go full-speed into the intersection, brake hard, heel-toe as I downshift, make the turn and accelerate back to the speed limit.
