200 RPM fast? This sounds like a prop problem. I think any Coupe should be capable of flying "Full Throttle" without being dangerous in the air.

We flew it around for a couple of days attempting to burn off some of the "new" and it had that nose heavy attitude in cruise, till the tachometer cable broke. I installed the new cable and Tack, or rather a mechanic did, and the nose heaviness went away!! The old tachometer was 200 rpm fast, and we were flying around with the whole thing in a strain. That would be my first course of action, check the engine speed.
