How good a price? If 400 or lower, go for it and see how you like it. If higher than 400 save a few more pennies and get yourself a 3500+. You can always sell the 3000 later. Anything under 3500 to me feels like stock and really isn't worth it, but if the price is right, go for it.

it will work but i agree with the above, which is a 3500+ will be better if you are after top performance.

I'll try and answer also.
The 3000 will work great, but like already mentioned a higher stall will work even better. I use a Yank SS4000, work awesome around town and even better on the track. It's even more streetable than the Yank ST3500 I had.
The converter will let the car rev a little higher when you leave the lights allowing the engine to get to it's peak power sooner. The car will accelerate quicker if you can get traction. The disadvantage is a slight loss of mileage around town.
If you leave the stock converter you will probably need to bump your idle up a bit. It will not work as well as the 3000. You will probably have surging issues.
Have fun.
