Flashing is when you give the car the gas immediately.

It does make it hit harder but you get more torque multiplication that way

loading it also takes more strain off the rear....

Yeah, I hardly flash the car. With street tires, stock suspension, and stock 3.42 10 bolt it isn't ideal. I load it up to 1500ish then GO!
