The static tube is outside besides the pitot. The only thing I thought about the pitot tube is that looks quite square, meaning it is a straight angle rather than having a round corner going to the nose cone.
CHTs are quite good at around 150-160 C, so I'll see if putting an extra degree (to 12) to the pitch of the prop. will do.
I might remove the Oil cooler as it might not be needed here in Eastern Ontario (and with Temps dropping now); a friend of mine doesn't use one on his TII w/2200.
This is the second time I hear about this economizer kit for the Carb. Not too expensive? I'll make some inquiries here with the local dealer, thanks for the tip.
I do have the 62" Warp Drive, (not a 64" this is a typo). I got a guy that keeps telling me that I should have had a GT propeller and also gave us a small demostration hammering an old one without making any dents! have you had any experiences with this one??
Thanks,
Rob

Your prop was the 62" taper-tip, wasn't it? If not, it's supposed to be. It should be pitched so that when establishing level flight at full throttle, RPM reads 3300 RPM, since the 2200 is rated to run there continuously all day long. 11 degrees should be close.
