6600 shifts, 6800 rev limit with a tr224. new mods....7000 shifts, 7500 rev limit maybe, depends on the dyno graph.

I shift my 4.8 at 7k with a completely stock bottom end... Ihave been doing so for about 1.5 years... these blocks/componets are alot stronger than most people think, having the tune correct is the biggest thing...

im suprised how high some are shifting

with my cam power peaked at 6100 but continued to have a pretty flat curve after that barely fell. im shifting at around 6400 and it pulls great

I guess im going to up mine to around 6500-6600ish and see what it feels like

I aint scared! shifts at 6600 cause my old peak was at 6400, and I picked up about 1.5 tenths 1/8th mile with 6600 vs 6200 on the same cam.
