Default rev limit and shift light rpm

I have a T1 cam with 918's, MTI pushrods and 772 retainers. What should I set my rev limit to, and what should I shift at with this setup?

I just got ls1edit, until now I've been shifting at 6,000 rpm.

I set the rev limit to 6800 tonight and made some runs on a country road. I cant believe how the car still pulls hard at that rpm. I didnt know what I was missing. I wonder if I'll notice it on my timeslips.
