Have my rev limiter set at 7K, I shift a hair below that.... The mods I have on extended my power band to higher rpm's... Wouldn't recomend doing it on a regular basis though...

my 90LX is fully stock aside from the exhaust. I never race it but I do break her open every now and then. I usually shift at 5K.

Rev limiter @ 5800, I try to shift at 5700rpm. This is at the track of course.
