Yup, a few people have done it.... but none that I know of were making fast enough times in the 1/4 for it to be an improvement for them. It may have helped in road racing though.
For me I am right on the edge of where I am going to have to start shifting to 5th at the top end of the track, so a switch to a 6 speed with it's closer ratios between 4th and 5th than we have in the 5 speed would make sense for drag racing. With 120 mph traps I am crossing the finish line at around 127 and that is darn close to 8,000 RPM in 4th gear.
Currently if I shift at 7800 RPM in 4th I am entering 5th gear at 126.6 mph and aprox 5450 RPM. If I was using the 6 speed out of the MR and shifted at the same 7800 RPM I would enter 5th gear at 117.3 mph at aprox 6150 RPM.... much better for drag racing with a big turbo.
