Cooper thanks for the academic lesson(insert sarcasm here). Surely you saw my humor/sarcasm in my response. The bottom line is it doesn't matter in my best guess. I don't recall the last time or any time for that matter where I needed to bypass the limiter in a Hornet to get more than 7.5 Gs nor would I have had any more than 7Gs available(configuration dependant of course) for any sustained length of time. About the only time I would have wanted more than 7.5Gs was during a demo and even then, not required. The 7.5Gs in the hornet like the JSF is not a function of jet ability or design but a function of FLE and the desire to increase the lifespan of the jet. The Swiss fly a 9G hornet for instance but they don't fly nearly the hours we fly on ours.
