Sam, Congrats! It shows you are a man of intellect and taste!
My MaxProp 2 blade is set to 14 degrees. Prior owners tried 12 and 16 before settling on 14. It depends on the diameter of the prop as well as the pitch. If the engine revs to max RPM with a clean bottom it is pitched properly. 8 sounds like too little!
