Maybe its set on the 3 blade setting.
No, that would make it read *low* not high.

I'd wager good money that no ASP52 could turn those revs with that prop. The ASP 52s I've got are definitely ported for speed rather than torque and if you do the math it becomes pretty clear that with the bore and stroke of the ASP52, there's just no way you'll be getting that kind of power at those RPMs without significantly lowering the compression ratio (to allow for a lot more air/fuel to be induced or higher nitro levels). Otherwise, it will detonate itself to death.
