8000 RPM possible? Long rod + valvetrain bits

So the N54 is 84.1mm/89.7mm according to what I've read. I know that increasing the piston speed past 25m/s will cause ring sealing issues and I think that 8k is possible by doing the math. I am not familiar with the N54 head AT ALL, nor do I know what kind of lifters or anything that are inside. Question is: with upgraded springs, lifters, etc, could the motor reliably survive 8k? With these big turbo setups, it almost seems a waste to not be able to stretch it out. I know the Direct Injection will have a shorter injection window, but I think we've proven that these injectors can flow a ton as it is. What kind of parts do we have along these lines? Is it possible to raise the rev limiter in the DCT?
