yeah you will be faster actually

ever otice when you take overdrive off the rpms go up?
it doesent add a 4th gear its a 4sp automatic with od

It simulates a differnet ratio basically the easiest way i could expain it
like say you need to tow something
take od off and itll be a lower ratio alowing your car to tow it easier
