I'm new on the strip scene so my question is do you use Overdrive or Drive when you are at the drags?

Doesn't really matter. In some cases you might notice that the shifts happen a little bit earlier with the selector in OD.

I use OD otherwise my 2-3 shift bangs the rev limiter.

I always run it in D and not OD. Seems to work better for me that way.

I have little mods here and there but with the HPP3 I put my rev limiter at 6400 If I put it in Drive would it be any different?

I keep it in D because it helps slow the car down better after the run saving the brakes a little. The HPP will help with both the 'hitting the rev limiter' and 'shift point' issues. It certainly helped me. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I always use OD. Like was said above, it shifts a little sooner and It shifts where I want it too. I never could get it perfect when using D. It always shifted late. I also found with my setup, as quick as my motor revs during a run, I shift 1-2 at -1 and 2-3 at -2 on the hpp3. Thats just what worked for me. These cars seem to vary alot from car to car so you may need to just run it and find out whats best for yours.
