How about something like the following:

f[t_, g_] := t/g
fpdf[t_, g_] = PDF[NormalDistribution[2.74, 0.787], f[t, g]]

NMaximize[fpdf[t,g],{t,g}]

Plot3D[f[t, g], {t, -200, 1000}, {g, 120, 250},
 Mesh -> None,
 PlotPoints -> 50,
 ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
 ColorFunction ->
  Function[{x, y, z},
   ColorData["DarkRainbow"][Rescale[fpdf[x, y], {0, .506915}]]],
 AxesLabel -> {t, g, f}
 ]

In a case like this it is often nice to have multiple coordinated displays. 
I'm not going to take the time to do one here. One idea would be to show 
your t-g domain with a Locator in one display. Then use the plot above as a 
second display with the t-g point indicated on the plot. Then as a third 
display, have a column of the actual data values: t =..., g = ..., t/g = ... 
and fpdf = .... Then a reader of the display could actually move around and 
not only see the graphics but also see the precise numerical values at each 
point. Such a display packs much more information than a static plot.
