Okay, yes or no question- Should I screw around with drilling/machining/otherwise altering my EJ25 crank to hit 8200 RPM safely?

If so, what specifically should I have done?

I apologize if that's made clear in another thread, but my searches here turn up either terrible signal-to-noise threads, or impossible tech geek-to-layman ratios.
