Welcome to the site GeneralAnarchy.
Your idea is an interesting one, however I don't think it'll work out very well. I too have the Enginer kit. And, while I haven't used it a ton, I think you'll understand why this won't work out well.
First off, the Enginer kit doesn't pump out enough juice to go real fast in EV mode. Therefore, you want it charging the OEM pack as much as possible, especially when stopped to keep the OEM pack topped off. Second, you would need to turn off the converter well before you come to a stop so you can take some time to use that power to lower your SOC. This is going to have to happen well before you hit the brakes. Third, you can still use regen. You just have to be lighter on the brake pedal as you will (hopefully) have a higher than normal SOC. However, this is usually not the case due to the first reason state.
