I have the same power setup and a STD-RG.  I get 175kt @ 2625 @8K with my 
Performance.  The old Performance has never let me down unlike my MT that is 
still in for warranty repair as it has been for 7 months.  Good thing I kept the 
Performance when I got the MT.  My MT has more time off the ground sitting on 
the back of a shipping truck than it has on my Velocity over the last 3 1/2 
years.

Ronnie's 2100 static with his catto seems low.  I get 2460 with the 
Performance static (takeoff still is exciting), and have to pull out about 3/4 to 1 
inch MP to keep it at 2625 which gives me the 175kts.  Of course I/we have the 
slimmer wing than the 173.
