off 100%. we have 3.92 gears behind a 360, and ran 14.80s with the OD off. with the OD on, it ran 15.0s in the exact same conditions...and it wasnt stretching the rpms much on the top end.

Unless you want best mileage with highway speeds, leave it off IMO. Does pretty much zilch for in town mileage and, as others stated, times at the strip.
