Heel and toe is the term that refers to blipping the throttle while in neutral and the clutch is out. What part of the foot you actually use depends on where the pedals happen to be located. Rolling your foot over a little to the right to blip the throttle is perfectly acceptable and in my opinion preferred since it is not so awkward. Cobra pedals are great for this.

You want to set the brake/throttle relationship so that when you are on the brakes and they are actually slowing the car down, the gas pedal is about even, so its easy to get the blip done.

I taught this stuff for 8 years at Skip Barber.
