There's at least two guys that lost their motors from oil pump failure running a 8k rpm redline. Z Eliminator and somebody else. Sam at Gtm also strongly advised against a higher than stock redline. The internals of the oil pump come apart at that speed. There's a Nismo unit with hardened internals, but its pricey.
Most people don't take theirs to the track. That's where failures occur. How often is someone at 8k rpm on the street?
