Default 231/237 Guys..Where are you shifting?

I'm just wondering where you guys are shifting and where your rev limiter is set at. Please indicate if you are cam only, or H/C...and whether or not you are on stock internals.

Thanks.

Cam only, limiter set at 6900.
Shifting between 6600-6800.
Cam peaked from 6250 to 6700 on my old intake and exhaust setup.

Any of you guys upgrade rod bolts? I doubt I will see 6600+ very often. I'm sure that when I'm on the street and see my tach getting down that deep I will want to shift.

I was thinking to have my limiter at 6800, and my shift light is set at 6600 right now, so it looks like I guessed pretty good so far.

Limiter at 6990
Shifts begin at 6750, last thru 69xx.
SI(meaning no ARP rod bolts), Cam only, bolt ons to include intake and used to hit some good nitrous shots. Banged 180 lots outta the hole. Cam was cool with the gas
