@JSnow-^^^^I think that the Tejas has software which limits it's G-force exposure and also the maximum speed[which is restricted to Mach 1.6].Hence they will tweak the software part so that the Tejas achieves it's FOC,which requires that it withstands 8G's and AoA of 32(I Think!)degrees.
The FBW System limits the G-Level exposure of the Tejas to prevent fatigue cracks from appearing in the airframe.The Tejas has top speed of About Mach 1.8 to Mach 2.0 at high altitude.the Tejas can easily sustain 8G stress but the lca MK-1 is not allowed to carry out manouvers in excess of 7.5G bcoz it is underpowered and with a heavy weapon load the GE-F404 doesnt have enough thrust for 8G turns.But Lca Mk-2 wont have any problems bcoz of LEVCONS and the higher thrust rated GE-F414 Engine.
