Ummm, if you're going to do that, why not just crank the final drive ratio out to be really short? That accomplishes the same thing.
 
It depends on what track you are racing.
If it's a track with many corners taken with 4th or 5th, you should shorten those gears so that you'll be able to drive those corners with high RPM.
Always adjust the 6th gear so that on the fastest point of the track your RPM with the 6th gear will be as close as possible to the limiter.
