Of course it is possible - that is what the oride paddle is for - to override the 7.5 g set g-limit. The g-limit is set lower to keep the ham fisted from passing the 8.1 max. Can the aircraft do more? Absolutely!
Will that MSP 811 code pop - absolutely! Btw - it can pop at much lower g's depnding on config and weight. Now - pop the 811 code and it will cause an inspection. Become the regular cause of overstress inspections and I'm sure the -154 skipper will have a few choice words for his officer.
