You would have to write a program to override the fill points on the element to increase the shift rpm, as well as engaging the converter clutch lockup...which can have anywhere from 50-300 RPM worth of slippage depending on driving.
If one really wanted to go the route of running an automatic Neon, I would swap in an A-413 from an earlier front wheel drive car, and do away with the electronics.

I would second that A-413 swap choice, you can make them live easily, and the gearing choices are there if you look hard enough. Just keep it cool to make it live.
