i would shift it at a max 5500-6000
rpm.because u might risk floating a valve at any higher rev.its even worse with boost.
i shift my n/a 305 tpi at 5000 and run 15.2 i tried shifting it higher i barely gained anything to be worth it.

If you want to keep that SN92together you better be shifting before 5000 RPM.

I had the same combo and I shifted at 5000 rpms. I tried to go higher but I did not gain anything. I was running 7lbs. of boost.
