I need to increase the gyro sensitivity by 3-4 times as much.
Can anybody out there help me to do this? Right now to achieve this I have the gyro gains set to full throw and I am using 2" long arms on the servo
and decreasing the throw on my transmitter, I need to do this electronically.

Is the output of the gyro true analog gain (I know it's PWM)? Or does the gyro output in steps (maybe 500-1000 step resolution)?

The reason I ask is if it's 'stepped' then a PIC solution would divide the output resolution by the gain (4 times gain, 1/4th the resolution). If the output is infinite analog encoding, then the PIC would have its sampling resolution, normally on the order of 1000 steps.
