You want to keep the same RPM, but go to lower pitch, so you can try a 14 x 7, maybe a 13 x 7. Try different props to see what works. Prop the engine to turn in the middle-9,000's and you'll be OK.

No....if the engine runs well on a prop with 7 or 8 pitch, then a 6 or lower isn't too much. One of those props may be TOO LITTLE pitch. Try one and see what RPM the engine turns. You really don't want to go over 10,000 RPM when leaned on the ground.
