Will my muscles grow bigger and faster if I increase my reps from 6 to 8 and shorten my rest periods to like 3 minutes or so?

Your rest period is how long it takes your heart rate to go back down.

More like you want to rest long enough so that your rep range isn't affected to much.

rep 5-10, 6-8 is ideal

Less rest and more reps will make train your endurance.
Fewer (slow) reps with more rest in between sets will give you bigger muscles.

Well how much rest should you get for bigger muscles?

Like, let's say I'm doing incline bench or something. What would be the best way to do that in order to get the most muscle growth for that exercise?

TUT
TIME UNDER TENSION

Let the bar rest on your chest as you rest yourself

If you are going for muscle aim for 8 reps with 45 seconds of rest

Do not rerack the bar or you'll lose tension
