Are you in 3rd and 4th in this specific track? Or all of the local area tracks you visit?
Every track is different. If you're spending most of your time in 3rd and 4th, it sounds like a track with lots of higher speed sections. And I think inherently with the power and weight of the platform, you'll find yourself in 3rd and 4th gear most of the time anyway. You'll pick up 2nd for slow speed/hairpins, and you'll only pick up 5th for long straights.
The car makes near peak torque with a flat curve starting at around 4500 RPM. If you're above that RPM, the car is in optimum range. Are you finding yourself in critical parts of the track where you can't make a downshift (and out of peak torque) or it's not ideal to upshift (and you're pegging redline)?
Motorsports teams have big budgets and will build and set-up a gearset for every track. Unless you only have one track near you and you love it to death, AND you're finding yourself out-of-power-band for critical parts of the track, leave your gear ratios alone.
