I think, since you are doing the heads later, then why do a cam swap twice?

Install the CC306 and use it until you get your heads done. Sure, you won't be able to use it to its full potential, but you will eventually.

Otherwise, you will need to get new timing set gaskets, and have to remove the opti, crank pulley, water pump, timing chain, pull the cam out. And if you don't do the work on your car, labour charge.

Good luck.

bigger valves don't really do much on mild stock bore cars, they can cause valve shrouding which can actually hurt power

cc306 will be nice with stock heads, not the best choice bet will def make decent power and make it more fun.
