its an OD on/off button, it does nothing preformance wise, call around a couple of local shops and ask
Changes gears at higher RPMs [:-]
no it doesnt, it locks the car out of overdrive, end of story
No you're a hooker ... [&o]

in theory your both right... it locks the car out of OD by getting rid of the last gear which improves how fast you accelerate.... as a drawback you can only accelerate to 130, where with OD on you have a whole other gear to play with
it's like a rubber band... with OD off the rubber band is alot more snappier but dosn't have the speed at the end... with it on, it's more of a relaxed mode and you don't really get that jolt from low speeds like you would with it off

wrong

OD off or on you still have to go through the gears

OD on
1st,2nd,3rd,4th (OD)

OD off
!st,2nd,3rd

thrid gear is third gear and the 4R70W doesn't shift out of each gear at almost redline anyways

turning OD of does absoutly nothing for performance.

like I said O/D off gives you more snap wherever you are in the RPM range....
