With your forged rotating assy., your well within what the parts can handle,your certainly not over revving the engine or abusing it with rpms,IMHO of course......

If that is all you rev it more camshaft would be of no benefit?

I looked in the Lunati catalog and could not find those exact cam specs, maybe a dis-continued camshaft,but did find one very close to that,advertised power band was 2000-6000 rpms.......so revving it any more would not gain anything.......and honestly,for a track car that you don't want to break the bank on and still run pump gas and have an engine that will last as long as this one has and run as many miles and only need basic maintenance, keeping your shift points to 5500 to 6000 rpms and top rpm at no more than 6500 is the way to go.......
First of all, you need to find out what happened to this engine and why, then go from there....
