Stop in for a cup of coffee

A overdrive or O/D auto is the way to go.
Why?

OD is just another way of getting the correct ratio for all around use. Sure OD might help if you want to drag race and still drive on the highway...but why?

Build a drag car or build a street car...trying to make one both has never made sense because it’s a compromise on each end...and neither end performs like it should.

Pick your build purpose and make it the best it can be for that purpose.

Period.
