I would dyno it and find where you are making peak power....

Then shift a little before that.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I would start out at 5,500 to 5,800 rpms. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I had my shiftlight set at 5800, which worked very well for me with the stock rev limiter. If I set it any higher I would hit the rev limiter.
