Default what rpm to shift at with Futural f4 226/226 .575/.575

I just finished a cam install this weekend and i was quite pleased with the install. I put in hardened pushrods, ls2 timing chain, ls6 oil pump, 921 spring kit with titanium retainers, and the cam i listed above. It says on futurals website the range is up to 6600....rite now i still have the stock rev. limiter but where should i set the new one? And where should i shift i was thinking 6200 maybe 6300

Get it tuned on a dyno. Set limiter to 7000.
From the graph you get then decide on shift points and reset limiter 300 above those sift points.

tune it, dyno it, make sure you get precise data on the numbers, then i can throw it into a spreadsheet and calculate it. is this A4 or M6?

m6's are MUCH better suited for LS1 type powerbands, so you should be good. spin as high as you can safely, every bit helps.

Ditto.

I had a similar cam (226/228 569/588 112cl) in my old car. I shifted @ 6,400-6,500 and the limiter was on 6,700
