Just set "blackClip" to a negative number. You might also need to lower "brightMult" afterwards. You would need to have "GAMMA_CONTRAST_BOOST" enabled.
EDIT: This looks gross with curvature enabled though because it raises the black level of the whole rectangular tecture. 
As a side note, "gammaBoost" should have the same number 3 times if you don't want the color to shift. If it wasn't originally, then that was just a mistake on my part.
