No "source," just personal experience from flying the Canadian-replacement-jet for nearly 4000 hours. A flaps-8 takeoff at normal T/O power will easily get you 5-6000 fpm with a light airplane.

I find it hard to believe that your new non-ALPA (sorry had to throw that in there) Boeing 717 doesn't outclimb the Fischer Price Jet.

Nope, not even close. Even at full rated T/O power with the bigger C engines and a light airplane, the best you'll ever see is around 4-5,000 fpm, and it also takes it longer to accelerate to 250 kts than the barbie-jet. We also usually de-rate the takeoffs and climbs, and the CRJ never de-rates climb power, so no real comparison.
