My only questions is "Why do you need a BB that pulls 8K rpm?" Isn't a 3-4000 rpm wide power band enough for your purposes?

Sure they will go there just fine if the valvetrain is good for it. I've been involved in some N/A big block door slammers that crossed the line at 9600+ RPM on every pass.

Just depends on what you're planning on doing. If racing seriously...RPM is your friend.

Ahhh...8000 rpm....I don't think so. Nobody actually believes their cable-driven tach, do they?
