Something that would help with the draw when dfco occurs would be a huge vacuum leak. As others pointed out, the big air pump of an engine is causing issues, but it's not so much the pumping of air as pulling a heavy duty vacuum. Should you introduce a way of having wide open throttle with the fuel shut off and not causing a downshift, you would see major improvement. Easiest way to implement this would be a valve to cause a massive intake manifold leak at command, ie a second throttle body. But a second valve body wouldn't be detected by the computer, so it wouldn't attempt to downshift and shouldn't turn on the fuel. Adding a fuel pump shut off to the secondary throttle body/vacuum leak would be a good idea too.
