You couldn't pay me enough to run a 200r4.   If I do anything, the car is going to get a manual 4 speed, I would love to get a richmond 5 speed, but that's a little bit too much $$$$.

Comfortable? No. Not at all. In fact, I don't think I've ever cruised 70mph with my Chevelle w/ a 4:10 rear. At 50mph, I'm doing about 2800rpm, 60mph is about 3100rpm. That's about the limit for cruising for me anyway.
 
If I were you, and you do 70mph cruising a lot, I'd go with the 3:50's or max 3.73's...or, like I'm going to do someday, get an overdrive tranny, which will drop that rpm real nice, yet still get the acceleration of the 4:10's...

Better have some high dollars stowed away for the tranny swap, the four speeds are very expensive to make bulletproof in high HP cars. Don't get the 2004R no matter what!
