The highest performance FDs run 5 speeds or automatic transmissions designed for drag racing. Many owners will change the differential gear ratio or the ratios of the drive gears.
The wording isn't the best, but basically.

why do you mock his post?
ill answer it as best as i can... greddy (trust) offers a 6 speed gearset for the stock case.. it is about $5000... it would be cool to have because it would probably be stronger than the stock unit... also the parts would be brand new... which would be nice if you needed a rebuild....and it would probably be advantageous to tight courses as far as racing goes, because i think the stock gearing feels a little long, a tighter gear may give the car a better feel, but that would be personal preference
you may also get into boost faster?
i love shifting cars, so i rather have 5 forward gears + 1 overdrive + reverse vs the stock 4 forward + 1 overdrive + reverse...
basically the only negative thing is the cost factor...
i dont know why the locals on here make waste of any post that pertains to it... theres 3 pages of crap on this... i just wish the first couple people could just reply intelligently

The search function is easy to use, and will pull up any info you want as long as you're patient and choose the right key words. Even if there was something wrong, all he'd have to do is use Google or some other search engine and punch up "6-speed FD transmission", and the Greddy unit would've come up, as well as threads from various forums such as this.

Oh oh oh can I say it again?
I don't want a 6th forward gear. I just want another gear with a ratio between my current 4th and 5th.........

Then do us the favor of phrasing your questions in a manner such that it is obvious what you are interested in.
And pretty obvious that you couldn't spell your way out of a wet paper bag...
This has nothing to do with "like". This has to do with respect. Prove you're worthy of respect by doing at least the minimum legwork to find an answer to your own question and you'll get respect back.

All I have to say is, I have been a fan of Jimlab's knowledge for sometime now and I must say... Jimlab, you should run for future president. You know your shiznit
