Default NO high pitch props

Since this airplane will be setup mostly for 3-D, I am interested in vertical pulling power, not top end speed. Props will be limited to 6 or 8 pitch. Many people are running an APC 18x6W (Fun Fly) on the 160FX and turning 9000 - 9300 rpm on the bench. Will this likely cause premature damage to the engine. Should I try an APC 20x6 to get the rpm down in the mid 8k's ?
