I had a 2001 SS skip shift is for light throttle. I believe it was effective up to 3000 RPM. And yes if you shifted on the low end of the limit the engine would bog. It is only supposed to be effective for the EPA tests and the EPA does not do full throttle runs.

Gear Select - Skip Shift (CAGS)
To ensure good fuel economy and compliance with federal economy standards, SECOND and THIRD gear are inhibited when shifting out of FIRST gear, under the following conditions:[*]Coolant temperature is above 50°C (122°F)[*]Vehicle speed is 20 - 29 km/h (12 - 19 mph)[*]Throttle is opened 35 percent or less
