For your other question about kickdown, yes I'd agree it is quicker to stay in gear than letting it kick down to another gear. It will take time to shift down then again take time to shift up a half second later.

Transmission shift points are based on throttle and tail shaft output. I think by setting the engine RPM limit below the shift set point for that throttle load you could ride the limiter indefinitely. Keep in mind that the DME has soft and hard limits you would need to set them up to match.
Also the transmission peak rpm shift logic is based on a predicted RPM rather than actual. It takes so long to shift , the TCU needs to predict the RPM rise.
Bouncing off an RPM limiter could be problematic.
