Default Ptc dual springs with stock cam?

I'm doing a heads cam install well I'm actually only installing the heads myself first to save money and then getting the cam installed at a shop. so I'm wondering if it will be ok to drive my car with these new heads and valve springs on the stock cam till I get the new one installed professionally?

I'd rather have the shop do the cam install seeing as they will be tuning the car and it is a custom grind from them. So that Being said will the new heads and heavy valve springs work with my stock cam just for the time being?

It won't hurt anything. I would also do the cam myself, and if you want them to tune it take it back to them. Or just let them do the entire install. Are you doing lifters also? If so the heads have to come back off anyway.

it will be easier to get the cam in while the heads are already off. might as well do it at the same time.
