Stands for engine over vehicle setting, I know engine doesn't start with n but that is the acronym they used. Basically a ratio factoring in tire size and axle ratio that tells the transmission when to shift to overdrive.

Yep. May take a few tries to get it exactly right as depending what psi you run your tires at, the tires may be slightly larger or smaller than advertised size. Not too hard to get it dialed in. I just checked with GPS to verify the speedometer.
