thats about what i'm thinking of, you want it to where the pump pumps more fluid on braking and use's lease fluid on the acceleration so that it conserves more of the braking power. if you end up only reducing the amount of fluid used for acceleration over braking by say 6-10% then thats 6-10% farther you can go before engaging the engine.

I can't remember where but somewhere online i saw a hydraulic pump that had a drive shaft all the way through it so you had a u-joint in front and in back, that would be pretty nice cause then you just put that between the driveline and the axle
