Default Advice For Shift Points W/cc503

Here's The Situation I'm Going To The Track In 2 Weeks And Really Have No Idea As To What Shift Point To Set My Tach At. I Have P&p Heads And Intake By Port Pros And All The Supporting Mods. My Stall Is The Tci Streetfighter With Stall Of 3000-3200rpm. Oh And Of Course The Comp Cam 503. So If You Had Experience With This Cam And Advice Please Let Me Know What To Do.
Thanks, 1sicss

I am planning on throwin a cam very similar to the 503 in my auto 95 camaro and I was going to set my shift point at 5,800rpm. I figure if the cam stops makin peak power at 5,700rpm than why keep it reved much higher than that? Not to mention the car is my DD so I don't really feel like redlining the **** out of it.

The 503 makes power well beyond 5800.

I trapped ~113 with that cam shifting at 6200.

Get it to a dyno and check. And ported heads will let it peak later than stock heads. I was shifting my gm846 (222/230) at 6500 with mildy ported heads.
