Rev Limit/shift point suggestions for my setup

Doing the mods in sig. I am going to get a pcmforless tune and need some suggestions on what my rev limit should be along with what rpm to shift at.
Thanks for the help.

Well I have my Redline Limiter set a 6,800 rpm, but that because I have the MSD Limiter at 6,600 rpm. I rather have the MSD act as my rev limiter, then the coputer shutting me down.

PCM cuts fuel completely
MSD cuts of spark between intervals

I shift at 6400rpm. w xe230/236, Ported Heads, all bolt-ons.

I recommend you shift at least 6400rpm, that way you wont fall off your rpm range too much at each upshift.

I recomment you set your limit at 6,600 rpm depending on the age/quality of valvetrain-Bearings of the shortblock.
