Default 6l80 guys with a tune - shift points?

6l80 guys with a tune, what are your shift points set at? And what is your rev limiter at? I've heard that the 6l80 doesn't like to be shifted above 6500 and just wanted some other opinions. Thanks.

I will have an ls9 cam FYI. I know it makes way more power above 5000 than the stock cam so I want to take advantage I that, but don't want to go high and hurt the trans.

That goes along with with I heard before, just wanted another opinion. Thanks.

I will probably tell my tuner to set the shift points at 6200 and rev limiter at 6500, just to be safe.

6500 on the 1-2
6700 2-3,3-4 and it pulls 6800+ in every gear but it didnt pick up enough at the track to spin it higher than 6700. Keep in mind i dont race my truck a lot anymore
