redpoint5 It sounds like the track you ride/race on has relatively short strats, so you can't get into 6th gear. You may still benifit on the track from a larger front sprocket if the track has slow corners on which you can't apply full throatle on the exit of a turn. You mit want to experament at the track with a bigger front sprocket to see how it affects your lap times. You could find that for some tracks the taller gearing reduces lap time...!
