Try to see the whole picture.

I did the calculations for all gears and you are right. At a track where you get into 5th gear, the 4.56 is very likely to produce slower lap times. Plus your top speed is likely limited to 5ths top of 114MPH (vs 126 stock) since shifting into 6th generally makes you go backwards a few MPH and not much chance of further useful acceleration.
Gonna have to go FI to go faster at all the tracks I run at!
