Re: are 3.08 gears good with 200r4?

I think the 200 has a .67 overdrive. Multiply that, times any gear ratio, and you will see what it would be equall to with a th350. (Example...3.08 x .67 = 2.06. .67 x 3.73 = 2.50) 3.08s would be great if you have a TON of low end torque to pull it in overdrive, or want to cruise at 100 plus all day! But then wind resistance would wipe out any mileage increase anyway.LOL!
