Default Help with shift points

I'm looking for some advice on where to have my tuner set my shift points. My mods are in my sig... I've ran my best times manually shifting the truck at about 6000rpm, which is probably 100rpm shy of the rev limiter. The engine has about 100k miles(maybe a lot more, lol) and stock rod bolts, so I understand keeping the rpm down a little low. Right now the 1-2 shift is ~5800 rpm and the 2-3 is ~5600rpm.

Here's some dyno threads with similar engine setups:

What you guys think?

If it were me i'd say 6400 to 6500... That cam shouldn't have any problems making power at least till 6500...

IDK why you would even shift it that early anyway... I used to have a 99 model LQ4 with a 221 cam, STOCK bottom end including rod bolts and it seen 7k many many times...

I guess Nelson forgot to change the shift points when he did the tune for my truck, idk. I'll tell him 6400 for the 1-2 and 6300 for the 2-3 and see how that works out.
