Narrative:
Hornet 1 departure was received on the pre departure clearance advisories and was loaded into the computer. On taxi out, ground control changed our departure to a checker 5 RNAV. The captain and myself have never flown the checker 5 and were unfamiliar with the SID (it was given last min). It was the captain's leg. We had trouble getting the FMC to accept some of the parameters of the SID. So the captain opted to hand fly that segment of the SID. With all the confusion with FMC and checklist, we overlooked the 8000 ft leveloff altitude and continued to climb to the final altitude of 16000 ft. There were no TA's or RA's on the TCASII. We called the controller upon arriving in pit and he also confirmed that there was no traffic problems.

Title: WORKING WITH A NEW LATE ASSIGNED DEP., AN ACR FLC OVERSHOOTS AN ALT RESTR.
Narrative: HORNET 1 DEP WAS RECEIVED ON THE PDC ADVISORIES AND WAS LOADED INTO THE COMPUTER. ON TAXI OUT, GND CTL CHANGED OUR DEP TO A CHECKER 5 RNAV. THE CAPT AND MYSELF HAVE NEVER FLOWN THE CHECKER 5 AND WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SID (IT WAS GIVEN LAST MIN). IT WAS THE CAPT'S LEG. WE HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE FMC TO ACCEPT SOME OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE SID. SO THE CAPT OPTED TO HAND FLY THAT SEGMENT OF THE SID. WITH ALL THE CONFUSION WITH FMC AND CHKLIST, WE OVERLOOKED THE 8000 FT LEVELOFF ALT AND CONTINUED TO CLB TO THE FINAL ALT OF 16000 FT. THERE WERE NO TA'S OR RA'S ON THE TCASII. WE CALLED THE CTLR UPON ARRIVING IN PIT AND HE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO TFC PROBS.
