Default Where to set shift light with my cam? Help ASAP(track tomorrow)

I just got my harlen shift light today, and im installing it tomorrow before the track... So i was wondering where i should set it at? I have a 7000 rev limiter(i know i know, ) Thats where my tuner put it and he is very respected in Texas as one of the best ls1edit tuners(Chris Robinson, OBSSSD).

I was thinking about putting it at 6500 or 6400... Shifting at 6600 or 6500... I dont want to rev it as high as Chris thinks... Shift at 6800!

Thanks Trevor

Shift it at 6800 if thats what he said ... he is probably saying that because thats where that cam needs to be shifted for peak performance.

Set your light at 6700 by the time you see it and react .....6800

Depending on your reaction time to the light, set it either right on where you want to shift or a couple hundred sooner.

Given my reaction time, I would need to set it a couple of 1000 RPM's early!
