Default Shift point settings ? Help quick please!!!

I am sending out my PCM for custom tuning out tomorrow morning. I just wanted to ask what the best shift settings would be for my truck? I am uninstalling the HPP3 before sending out the PCM as I am going to have it custom tuned and all TM removed. My current settings on the HPP3 are as follows:Raised shift points 1-2 +4, 2-3 +11, 3-4 +15, rev limiter is raised to 6200rpm. I have been very happy with these shift points since I have had the HPP3 for the past 2 years. Just wanted to know if these shift points are safe before having all my Torque management removed. These settings I have currently on the shift points are the maximum shift points without hitting the rev limiter. I believe the highest rpm achieved is when it shifts from 1-2 I calculated it at 6130rpm. I used the calculations from the HPP3 manual. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

I found with my truck when tried it at +4,+11 it would run out of breath just before the shifts so I set mine down a notch to +3,+9 and it didn't seem to hurt the power any just after the shifts.

You can check yours by watching the speedo close and see if the needle slows down quite a bit just before the shift.

I just got my predator this weekend so I haven't tried shifting above 5850 yet without torque management running things so I couldn't advise on that just yet.
