You should have no issues whatsoever at 6100 RPM.

There is no set RPM that is a max, and that is what we are trying to stress, so you don't go out there shifting F1 style.

Rev limiter will keep you safe...though the stock tach will likely tell you you're pulling 7grand . I found on the dyno that my car peaked at 5600...so I shift at aprox 5600, shift at peak power IMO.

These guys are right on. I'll just add that as long as the rotating assembly can handle it, shift at whatever the cam is designed for. If you are using the stock cam still there's no point in shifting past 5500 or so.
