This thread has gone for 34 posts, with some incriminating evidence posted by those who are operating certificated airplanes--maybe.
Here is what the 7EC type certificate says about propellers and propeller RPM:
Engine Limits For all operations, 2475 r.p.m. (90 hp.)
Airspeed Limits Level flight or climb 100 m.p.h. ( 87 knots) True Ind. Glide or dive 135 m.p.h. (117 knots) True Ind.
Propeller Limits Static rpm at maximum permissible throttle setting: (For fixed pitch Not over 2350, not under 2125. No additional tolerance permitted. wood propeller)
Diameter: not over 72 in., not under 70 in.
So, if your current propeller pulls between 2125 and 2350 STATIC (as in full throttle, on the ground, NOT moving) then it is within legal limits. Repitch it to get better climb or cruise, and if it then runs static outside those limits, it is not legal.
And, for those folks advertising on the world wide web that their C-90s on certified aircraft are running 2600 rpm.....note that the Continental TCDS (and the above 7EC TCDS) says Maximum rpm for the Continental C-90 is 2475 RPM for ALL operations.
If you're experimental, obviously, you can do whatever you want with your engine.
But, for the OP, these are the limits for your engine. 2200 to 2300 for takeoff is probably pretty close to that static limits noted above.
Also, a review of the TC for your airplane will also tell you what propellers are approved for the plane. The TC is the first place you should go for basic information like this....THEN troll the internet.
