Default Shift RPM on SCT?

For those of you that have tuned your car with any SCT, what do you guys have your RPM redline at?

Rev limiter, as in your set redline on the tuner. Because on the tunes I've bought from Bamachips, Brenspeed, and VMP, its set at 6000 and that's a little out of my comfort zone. So I was asking what others had theirs set at.

And you're ok with it going all the way to 6000? I just think that screams disaster

6k is fine. I wouldnt see any reason that you would turn it that much in a daily driver situation. So i dont think you have anythin to worry about.

The 99+'s are fine for 6k shifts. The pre-99's are not. I never shift before 6k at the track on either car. The shift light on my '02 is set at 6,300, but it also has the valvetrain to take it......
