My IO360 with CS prop is rated full power at 2700 rpm.

Actual RPM on takeoff is usually around 2615. Should I have the
governor adjusted, or is this appropriate margin to prevent overspeed?

Max rpm on my IO-520 is 2700. Actual rpm during takeoff, which I know
because I have a Horizon digital tach, 2725-2750. I would never let the
rpm stay on the low side, you're just ****ing away HP. When I had my
182 the governor was set at about 2650 when the redline was 2600. 50
rpm here or there are irrelavant.
