Eliminate e40d rear axle speed sensor

Can i eliminate the rear shift sensor in my axle to run the trans as a shiftable automatic? i have trouble getting into the high end when racing and i think its because all the spinning. granted it is in 4lo so i wont get alot of speed but anything would help and it seems like it has more to give but is revving out. the axles are 3.55 and not sure if they're ls because truthfully haven't looked yet. thanks
BTW forget to mention 1992 F150 Flare side with 302

The rear axle VSS sensor is manditory for proper transmission operation so no it cannot be eliminated. The reason the motor doesn't have any top end power is because it's not designed for it.. peak HP happens at 3800rpm so reving it more is just making noise. If you want more top end HP swap in a Mustang HO cam.

I'm hoping to do that soon because i definitely want more power out of it, but the budget is tight.(isn't it always?) there are just times it feels like it has another gear to give but i cant get it there, i thought maybe just eliminating that and shifting myself would work out better. the mud is to thick to run in 4hi. so far the motor mods are eliminated the ac, smog, and switched to dual electric fans. the truck is raced off road.

A stock 5.8 won't rev any higher and it's rpm he needs, all the 5.0 needs is a cam and it'll sing to 5500rpm.

talked to some guys about the "lincoln locker" and they said it pushs to hard in the turns. the 3.55 seems pretty good so far i just want more speed on the straights. i think the 4.10 would get me off the line quicker for sure, but i would hit the same issue on the top end.

i just learning yet but i think the 4.10s would keep u up in ur peek RPMs so u'd be gettin ur peak power and have the gears to move u through that thick mud as well... when my brother swapped 4.10 into his ranger for muddin it made a huge difference in the mud
