The cam is a bit of a worry , all else is great

the pitting on the top of the lobe is an indicator of overrevving. the springs are not holding the assembly on the cam lobe and this is usually at peak rpm .

this is your track bike I believe so I'd pay attention to this detail while you have the chance.

talk to phill at surecam (02 6581 5042) (mention stu and the zone). either get him to dress the cams back to the original profile or take the plunge and get something done to get some more power happening.

I'd get the valve springs tested and take his recommendations on suitable replacements to suit the revs and application.

I'd also look at getting the valves and seats done and a bit of port work wouldn't go amiss ( geoff chesterton in brissie is a bike port specialist PM me for his contact).
