Yes,every time i have stall it up it hase went slower by about .05 in the 60 and .15 in the end.

By leaving at idle it reduces the heat generated saving your tranny and it will also flash the converter allowing it to stall higher and get the rpm's where the should be.

Me too, many people said it couldn't be done. The was one guy that ran a 1.45 60' on the 245's perfedt track i'm sure.

The 1.59 was only once many other times i run 1.64 spinning slightly. I do want to get a full slick to see if i can cut consisted 1.57-1.58

OR... i could keep the 245 nittos for the sleeper look and buy drag shocks to see what it does.
