Default need opinion on shift points

I just put a 2002 LS6 cam in my Whippled 6.0 truck. I am making about 8 psi. Has stock heads but the compression is now 8.6 to 1. Before the cam change and drop in compression I had it shifting at 5900 into 2nd and 5700 into 3rd. How much higher do I need to go with the LS6 cam? I am thinking around 6500-does that sound close? It seems to have lost a little power right off the line (SOTP) and I don't know what it is doing up top 'cause I haven't changed the shift points yet. Just thought I would ask to get a ballpark idea then its on the road for some tuning!

Try 6400 with the 02 LS6 cam it will still be making good power and elimanate most of the gap between 2nd and 3rd.
