I think I'd go insane with a 3-speed auto, even getting those numbers. Just knowing how much it's leaving on the table would be painful!
I have one coming in a parts car I'm picking up. To give you an idea of the change; I'll be going from a final drive of 2.98 and a 1.00 3rd, to 3.55 final and 0.72 5th.

When I first got the car, I thought, "Hmm, it's not going into 4th for some reason." I wanted to choke the idiot designers when I found out what they did. When I found out that a Neon with a 3.55 trans can get high 40s easily, as some have done, I had to swap.
