O/D on or O/D off does nothing but stop torque converter lockup (not used at WOT btw) and the shift into over drive.
There are NOT multiple sets of shift functions or line pressure tables in the PCM code.
Any "gains" someone is "feeling" from changing the position on the switch is purely illusionary. Any actual timing (ET) change is going to be well within the range of error for multiple runs.
This is no hearsay, no butt dyno, but actual data from the code.
98% of ALL CARS MADE call "stopping the torque converter from locking up" as SPORT mode. It's nothing more then that. PERIOD.
For those that do not understand what this means. That means the converter will stall at the highest rpm it can per VSS signal. (MPH) This is why you can see more engine rpm on the tachometer but in reality you are not actually going any faster then normal. You are just stalling the transmission at a higher rpm level.
The PCM uses the VSS and TPS for shifting, not engine rpm. For instance changing your tire diameter without telling the PCM will cause your shifting points to alter beause of this. (slushboxes only of course)

89' Ford Probe had a sport switch on the shifter and it raised the shirt points... And its a ford.

Given the track record of the tranny alone, it's no comparison. How many of you recommend the tranny-oil cooler for an ATX? All of you. The mtx, given some redline and presto. Less repairs, more control, and fun(ner) to drive. Sure I don't have a 16.4 but I'll take my 16.6 and smile more doing it 
All in good fun
