Come on, guys! The 200-4r is superior to both of those transmissions! It has better gear ratios, it's lighter, and can take just as much power as those other two if built properly. It's the only way to fly! (in overdrive) :D

I agree with going with a 2004R, unless you're making ridiculous amounts of power, then a 4L80E would be my choice. The only way to really drop your RPMs will be a gear change or OD transmission. The best you'll get with a set of taller tires is probably a few hundred RPM lower than what you are, which likely won't offset the cost of just changing tires. Also, keep in mind how your motor was built. If the cam's powerband doesn't start until 2,000 or higher, you don't want to drop too far below that, otherwise you won't get decent vacuum to the carb and it will likely want to run rich.

Thanks guys for all the help. I just need to save money to buy a built 200r4 and drop it in and go driving again!
