making a 6 speed

I have an em1 and i swapped in a b18c5 and i was wondering if there is anyway possible to make it a 6 speed because i am tired of being at 80mph in 5th and 4500 rpm it gets annoying lol so is there anyway to do this?

I think you could swap in a LS 5th gear to drop your highway RPMs

^ True. It will lower highway RPMS, but if you cant do the labor yourself it could get pricey fast.
