I have similar things done to my 05 6 speed with similar issues. Something that came to mind as a possible solution is a device we use in supergas drag racing called a throttle stop. Some of the needed fuctions are in the SSR computer system. You would have to ask some sharp tuners if this could be done. Bryan Herter and Lyndon Webster come to mind. I think the ECM has the ability to set throttle angle and I know it can delay opening. So, if you open the throttle only part way for a second or so it would allow the tires to hook up some and could aid in absorbing the converter flash. Or maybe reduced throttle angle thru 1st gear, then full open. The other area would be the timing maps. Usually at the strip we pull timing out in high gear, but if you took 6 or 8 degrees away in first gear it would kill the torque some. Don't know if the computer can map for individual gears though. Anyway just some ideas I've been kicking around.
