Default Jetcat SPT5 Turboprop - maximum RPM's

I'm ready to do the maiden of my turboprop Marchetti equipped with a Jetcat SPT5 and I was wondering if you guys have changed the preset values of the turbine.

While exchanging some info with Bevar, he told me that he limits his propeller speed to a max of 7750 rpm in order to protect the reduction gears. Is anybody else doing these ?

Maximum rpm's set at the factory are around 8250 rpm so I'm wondering if with this reduction you are loosing a lot of performance.

My main turbine maximum rpm's are set at 165.000 rpm's.
