I have pretty much the same setup, but my cam is a Comp 224/.581/113 and the highest rev that I should be able to achieve after tuning will be around 6400ish from what was told to be from my tuner. I get my tuning next week. With the mods you have you should 420ish rwhp.

I have always felt that shift point should always be at redline. The engine then falls right back into the fat part of the HP curve for the higher gear.
