iff2mastamatt's strategy is what I do as well, since on an auto it coaxes the upshift and doesn't make it shift down again. Under acceleration you want to use most (usually 80%ish) of the engine's torque for most cars since it reduces losses through the throttle (if you have a BMW or G37 or a European Toyota with Valvematic you'd want to press the gas down enough that you'd be just filling the cylinders with enough air/fuel so it expands to atmospheric pressure, which I think would occur at 50-60% max torque or so). Unfortunately on an auto this isn't really possible without having it downshift and try to rev super high, so you try your best to mess with the programming with your foot.
