This is at Nevada County (KGOO) 3,000 ft MSL, 2% down hill with gradual throttle application to 2340 RPM, no passenger, and not quite full fuel. I then delay the climb until I've accelerated to 110 - 115 IAS kts at which time the RPM is up to near 2500 RPM and then I climb out at around 1300 FPM. Less fuel and lower density altitude and I sometimes see 1,500 FPM. Rusty
