Couple different ways...completely change all the gear ratios, or (much better idea) install a GearVendors Under/Overdrive unit. They're very trick, and will essentially make your tranny an 8-speed, giving you a "1st-and-a-half," "2nd-and-a-half," and so on. It shifts using a planetary gear set (like an automatic) to go from whatever gear you are in into the overdrive version of the gear - think of it like having two rear ends that you can switch between however you want. The units are pricey but can be picked up on eBay for under $1000.

The gearvendors idea has been around since like the 50s/60s. Old Triumphs came with those things.
