Yes I am staying with the stock ECU and don't want to mess with the valve train too much.

The 260/252 cat cams seem like a good idea though they have a 8.5/9.0 lift. Is 9.0 not going to be feasible?

Also, what thickness head gasket should I get and is there anyone in the UK that retails a Cometic one?

Cheers

Those cams are likely to need uprated springs and are probably right
on the limit of the standard shim arrangement.
The 4-age 16v responds really well to cam lift and sometimes I
think the lower lift long duration cams are a compromise to suit
the standard cam followers / shims

You will only likely get the best from uprated cams by using adjustable
cam pullies and time the cams for power not idling ability.
