The Lentech unit will allow you to hold any/all gears to whatever rpm you want and that makes one hell of a big difference.

Thats funny, Ive been driving around town in OD for over 4 years and never burn it out. And I spend most of my time in OD, with the 4.10s, and left in automatic shift mode, it gets into overdrive fast. I would say within 50 yards.

I have to totally disagree with the dont use overdrive in town "theory" and have personal experience as proof. Has anyone actually burn up overdrive by using it around town, or are you just repeating what you read somewhere? If your tranny is in good shape, there no reason OD wont hold up with normal street use. After all, thats what its there for.

Mach1, it will shift into od at full throttle after a certain speed. I like to have control of what the car is doing and I appreciate what the Lentech unit alllows me... an auto/manual tanny.

What speed is that? I go through the traps at over 105 mph and still hold third. I have total control of all shift points and I have absoluetly no need or reason for a switch to lock out overdrive.
