You can hack it into your tune since you have hpt.
Set your rev limiter to spark instead of fuel or throttle, then set your neutral rev limiter to something lower than your normal rev limiter that you are comfortable with.
I had it setup like this for a while but was happier with lift-shifting anyway. Your clutch won't be very happy with it either.

My brain is also too conditioned to lifting. Long ago I had a muncie M22 (straight gear) crash box on a 427 installed in a similar car to yours. Powershifted into 2nd at 6500 and missed the gear...blew the motor to pieces. So no powershifting for me, and no sidestepping the clutch out of the hole either

Just make sure your clutch pedal is coming up all the way if you do it..
I tried it once, and then forgot about it.. all of a sudden I'm doing a WOT run and hit 5K RPM's and it felt like I had hit a tree when it hit the rev limiter because the clutch pedal wasn't quite all the way up
