Allen where ever your engine makes peak HP at will be the middle of your usable RPM range, for instance my old peak HP was 7800 so my shift point was 8500 to keep the car in the peak range as much as possible. yes im going to make sure I dont lose another engine but im not ready to give up getting competitive, I will see a Buck and a quarter on that dyno.
Daryl, IIRC some past posts suggest you're running towards the front. So I may be out of line by questioning the above. But that hasn't stopped me before. I'd get a second opinion about the above advice. How much power is your motor making between 5600-8000 rpm (that's where your rpms will be on a 3rd-4th shift at 8k) vs between 7000-10000. I'd think that the power above 8500 is falling quickly.

Other than apex seals breaking, what about the gears walking? Have you addressed that issue?
