Default What RPM should I be shifting at?

I'm having a hard time telling what RPM I should be shifting at in my M6 corvette. I have the launch down pretty good, I'm running 2.0 60' times on the run flat tires. I'm just not sure where I should be shifting.

Redline should be around 6000 like a regular ls1, right? Then shift around 5950-6000 rpm.

Better yet, get it dynoed and see where your power band ends.

High as possible without hitting the revlimiter.

So what do you do then? I don't mean try and shift 50 rpms before hitting it. Like on my car, with the longtubes, lid, and exhaust it revs quicker than before and the stock tach doesn't keep up. So what I mean is find the rpm on the tach for whatever gear that you can shift at consistantly without hitting the rev limiter.
