Default Depends on the cam & configuration.
I have a solid roller with a duration of 268@.050 and T&D rockers. My rev limiter is at 7000 but I shift 1st & 2nd with a light at 6200 (peak torque curve not HP) and run 3rd to 6700 with no strain on the motor. It flattens out between 6800 and 7000 anyway; so there's nothing to be gained. I haven't bumped the limiter yet since I put in the light and I don't have to worry about beating up my motor.
