Static RPM

Would like to hear what static RPM I should be seeing?
I have a new RV8A, ECI-O-360, 8.5 to 1 comp. Catto 68/75- 3 blade prop.
I am seeing max 2200 RPM static, 82*F 150' field elev. . I have not yet flown the plane, is this consistent with what others are seeing with similar setup?
 
David is correct. You are going to love it. Catto 68X75 same as on my 8 with Superior IO 360 and it performs great.
 
Same: I just started running my RV-8 with the same CATTO 68x75 on a parallel valve IO-360. I get 2200 RPM static @ 464' msl, about 55 degees F.
I finally finished the conversion from my turbocharged Mazda rotary project.
I did four "Land Backs" just shy of take off speed, with very good and predictable results.
Now to submit the FAA 8130-6 and new Weight & Balance to the FSDO, and I'll be back in the air soon.
