Great info, guys. It gives me a lot to consider. Thanks everyone!

Years back, I used an adjustable idle step up solenoid acting on the throttle linkage, hooked up to a switch on the dash. I would flip the switch to bump it up to my pre-adjusted launch RPM, then shut it off once I was done shifting. If I was on a pro tree, I tried to stage last so I could turn it on after 3 bulbs were lit, then feather the clutch to stage. If I was on a sportsman tree, I had more time so it didn't matter who staged last. It actually worked OK.
