    When you Land Rover has 200+ HP, the tiny steps an overdrive provides
    does not make a noticeable difference. Except maybe 4 over and it is
    not tall enough. Once you get past about 125 HP the Ashcroft kit
    becomes an attractive option. Below that the ability to split gears is
    the way to go.
