Default LE2 Package... where does it like to shift?

looking at putting the LE2 package on the ol' LT1 That Could, just wondering if my A4 is gonna hold up, I heard that package likes to shift around 6500. Also wanted to get opinions on what a TCI 3800 is gonna do as far as robbing power, shift point rpm, shift extensions, trap speed, etc etc etc.

thanks for any advice!

It is a proven package and i wouldn't worry to much about were it shifts. An optimum shift point would be easily determined by getting it dynoed.

6500rpm+ would work the best since it peaks at about 6400-6500rpm.
