My buddy had an r5 p7 in his 3000 pound dart and he only shifted it at 7800 or so.
Ran high 5's low 9.40's
Was a restrictor plate motor.
12 to 1 and the cam was only 248/258@50.
So I am not surprised a 400 pound lighter car is running those numbers at that rpm.
Those little motors make lots of steam. He had his heads flowed at a very reputable shop and they inched over 400 cfm.
Best bang for the buck out there.
