With a G-62, it tached at 6000 on the ground but hasn't been flown yet due to the weather. I suspect an EME 60 would turn it fine. Several guys at my field use that engine with a 24x9 and it pulls like crazy.
Lifer,a 24x9 does not leave much much ground clearance. Is that prop used on a TF P47? I have to be ready on the elev. with a 22X10 .A flying buddy is using a 24 on his TF P47 with a DA85 has had expensive brushes with the ground on take off.

flypilot....It looks like you have done your homework and it will be the perfect engine!
