Bob, I have a 3 blade Warp drive. It has tapered blades. Diameter is 58". I have it set at 20 degrees. (This provides maximum airspeed at WOT.) My engine is a Continental A-65. Max static RPM is 2220. Max RPM in straight and level flight is 2540 RPM. I set my pitch many times before finalizing it here.
Do you have full chord blades or tapered blades? What is your prop diameter? As others have mentioned, have you checked your tach?
