stall converter break in?

i have a 2800 fuddle stall and after install i took it to the track and ran my best of 1.74 60' dead hook and a 12.27 at 111,

I have heard of these converters after some miles will become looser and ther for giving slightly more stall.

Question is is this true? and if so can i expect a little better 60' next year at the track

Oh also i have removed some weight from the car about 50 lbs, and have relocated the battery to the trunk, Now on the street the car acually hooks alot better. plans are 1.69 60' from weight reduction and stall break in if possible.

other plans are bmr k-member and fiberglass hood, should be worth another 50lbsoff the nose.

I believe the only break-in is for the lock-up disc or discs. I think a few years back when I bought my Vig. they recommended at least 50 engagements of the lock-up for break-in. As far as the stall rating changing, I don't think so.
