Viper can max. 10.5G sure with no carry, and 9G with full carry and fuel.

Sky - Your information is incorrect. The flight control system will only allow 9.0Gs on an F-16 with no external stores. If your pull is abrupt you can sometimes see a slight overshoot. I have personally never seen more that 9.5Gs.
9.5 Gs and over is considered an over-G and the aircraft has to be inspected.
If you are carrying external stores the flight control system will still allow you to pull 9.0 Gs, but depending on which stores you are carrying it will most likely be an over-G if you do. Some stores - fuel tanks, bombs etc. limits the amount of Gs you are allowed to pull quite a bit.
You cannot "cancel" the 9.0 G-limit.
