John, Its largely a matter of your personal
preference. I too lean toward takeoff and initial climb performance,
however, I would recommend that you have the prop "calibrated" such that at max
weight take off on a high altitude density day, you have enough engine rpm to
produce sufficient power to get or at the very least remain
airborne. Otherwise, should you loose the turbo, you are coming down
- how soon, of course, depends on your altitude at loss.

I
probably am overpropped at static and low speed. I told Clark Lydick to
build me a speed prop. I figured that being overpropped on take-off doesnt
matter if you have lots of HP and can get off the ground in 1200 ft and climb
like a banshee anyway. I'll be sending the prop back for adjustment once I get
solid numbers, but I don't think I'll want him to cut it back
much.
