I makes the car rev faster. It will also free up a couple hp.

Default I've got one, it's good. My car makes some suprising grunt at 1100 rpm.
I sometimes find myself with the clutch fully engaged in first gear by 1100 rpm. I am suprised at how hard the car pulls.
Yes, I know I'm going to destroy my car by lugging the engine

Default The whole "lugging the engine" thing ended with British farm tractors. :-p
I often run them as low as they go. Sometimes even with full throttle. :-)
