Default 3w-50 tachometer reading

Would like to know what is the optimum tack reading for a 3w-50 with a 22x10 pro zinger prop. The reading for the run up today was 6300. The instructions just give a range of 1300-8000. The plane that it will be used in is the top flite giant p51.

Sorry if this question has been asked before.

Also appreciate any responses by tomorrow so that I can tune the engine on the test stand.

Thanks again for any responses.
