Shift points for my cam.

What should I be shifting at with my cam. Car is an M6 with a 224/224 581/581 on a 112lsa. I have 4.10's right now it seems like I am hitting my rev limiter at about 6100 rpm. I figure I am losing quite a bit time by having to shift at such a low rpm. My car is tuned but I don't know what the guy set the rev limiter at. I have installed a tach with a shift light and due to the delay of he tach I am having to shift at an indication of 6000 on the tach much more and I hit the rev limiter. My current best in the 1/8th is a 8.04 on a 1.73 60ft. It runs 8.0x all day but can't seem to break into the 7.9x range on the current set up also my mph is consistantly around 87.7x. Any reccommendations on what my shift points should be is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jessie

I'd say shifting around 6500 or 6600 should work well for that cam...

I have the harlan shift light and it is set at 6500 , stock tach shows 6000. I have the c1 cam and you are running the c2. 6500 would be good maybe try 6700 to see what it does. Set the rev limit to 7000.
