Hi Don,
    People I have talked to say you want a fixed pitch prop to give you
redline RPM at full throttle, straight and level.  This allows the engine to
produce it's maximum power and speeds.  At higher altitude the full throttle
RPM should still be near redline.  The engine produces less power, but the
prop and plane have thinner air to work against.  At 10,000' the
(non-turbo)engine is only making 55-65% power, so you are not over working
it.  That's my understanding.
