Were oil squirters installed? (or do they come standard on the LS I'm not sure)
I don't see why you couldn't rev to 8000. It's only 800 higher than normal, and usually the rev-limits are determined by the valvetrain setup. I would say the top end can take 8000 no problem, maybe ask the builder of the engine or retailer of JE pistons what they think just to be sure.

id say to stay on the safe side and dont go past 8k until you get it checked out by a speed shop.
