4 times. Your car should shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th. And yes OD off should help you accelerate because it keeps you in higher "ready" RPMs. Dont have to jump into the powerband because you're already there sort of thing.
Do this (even though it might not be safe): get on the interstate and just get on it til it wont go anymore. And listen to the shifts. You should hear 4. If at 3 it doesnt go to 4 and just keeps whining out youve fucke up the transition into OD. I cant be held resposible for a ticket and/or injuries thoug .
