Once again, I'll strongly recommend a 200-4R over changing the rear end gears. Going to 3.08s will drop your first gear effective ratio from 8.62:1 to 7.76:1. The 200-4R gives you an effective 9.37:1 off the line and 2.33:1 in OD.

Check the calibration of your tach. To hit 3000 RPM in third (which is 1:1), you'd have to be running tires that were about 24.5" in diameter. This would be a 225/60-14, for example. For a reasonable size tire in the 26-27" diameter range, your 60 MPH revs should be 2500 or so.
