Well, I set all my points to 6k.
I think the stock is 5800 for 1-2, and 2-3 is lower...like 5500.
Honestly, after 5800 in 1st, I feel like it isn't really doing anything so I'm gonna put it back to 5800 for 1-2 shift.
In 2nd I think it would be better to shift at least at 5800, that doesn't really concern me because I'd be going around 90 and I usually don't drive that fast.
Ask MarineBlue03GMC, I saw his dyno results and if I remember correctly, on the 1-2 shift after 5800 the HP just drops.

I found that my best numbers in the 1/4 where shifting at 5800 rpm for the 1 to 2, and 5700 for the 2 to 3. You can see my mods below.

I will be regearing soon, so I ask me by the end of the month, and I'll let you know what works better with 4.10s. Besides, the motor even with all my mods just doesn't seem to pull hard anymore after 5800rpms, but that could be due to my altitude. 2000ft.
