Any downside to lowering cruise RPM?

As long as the car comes off the stop clean and you are still on the stop when you cross the 60' timer, then you should be good.

There is not really a need to be on the stop across the 60' timer, but I personally think it helps a lot to have some kind of ET number that remains constant even after changing the throttle stop timer to give an indication of track conditions or why you were quicker/slower than you intended.
