Advice on cams for 9a..regrinds or kr?

How do chaps :)

My 9a is running on piper regrinds of standard 9a cams with 264 profile

Engine has done 4.5k miles since full rebuild with p/p head and balanced bottom end

Timing is spot on and k-jet has been adjusted so its not getting lean at high revs

However problem i'm having is that engine dont like reving past 5.5k :dontknow:

Could my regrinds be at fault?

Would i be better of with kr cams?

Or is there some other possible cause, fueling, tight engine…?

Any advice aprreciated :D

alright mate, I'm no expert but the lads on CGTI with valvers all swear by KR cams, or modified KR cams.
