Both the increase in CR and the valve overlap are detrimental to your plans for a turbocharged build. It sounds to me like you're trying to change your mind 2/3rds of the way through your build.

The obvious answer is to finish the turbo build.

I'm with TOD.

Finish your turbo build, and don't worry about cam's or revving the piss out of your motor. The setup you have already is capable of some serious power with the correct turbo setup. You will need new injectors and a professional tune also.
