Default shift points on a 96 lt1

I recently bought a hypertech programmer for my 96 lt1. I have replaced the stock thermostat with a power stat 160 degree and have set the fan to come on cooler and adjusted the top speed and rev limit to 6400 rpm. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should set the shift points

If the car is stock, I dont think you will improve on the stock shift points. Saw a guy try at the dragstrip one day.

Set it to shift faster and harder with the programmer

Default Shift Points

I spent a day at Lebanon Valley on a track day. Adjusting shift points.

What ended up being the best set up is. 5750 shift rev. limiter set to 5900. Anything less than 150 rpm and it will hit the rev. limiter when shifting. Power programming and with stiff shift. 160 thermostat.
