respect those winds and DA - My Oh F&^k moment

Even at Vx you should not have a stall warning. Vx minus 5-10 knots is where you should get a stall warning.

And gusty conditions can easily put you there during initial climb at Vx.

Or it could be an airplane with an unrealiable stall warning switch due to installation error.

Also, if you broke ground at 2000ft in a 180hp machine with 2 guys and full fuel, this does not sound really right. You should see closer to a 1000ft ground roll. (consult your POH)
I'd have someone look at the airplane. 3000ft DA won't double your ground roll. When we fly in 100+F here, we still don't need that much rwy. (now Denver in the summer is different )

He admitted to not leaning for max RPM prior to takeoff. The overly rich F/A ratio wasn't helping. I always lean for 1225-1250 EGT (max EGT at sea level minus 150-200*) during takeoff to provide proper mixture. Of course, as previously mentioned, my RV climbs like a scolded cat even at high DA.

Good reason to do a full power static rpm check from time to time. You won’t get book performance if you are not turning book RPM.
