To do just the cam swap, probably not. But if you are doing some work where you take the timing belt off or something like that, then yeah its worth it.

I have a 95 head, I'm working on. Doing some light exhaust porting. Smouthing out the step under valv seats and polishing the port.
Cause of budget, I want to reuse the cam, but will that take benefits of the headwork, or should I go for a #Crane 12?

Exhaust Valve port before work.

I would go with the Crane #12 since you are doing the headwork. You can get anywhere from $40-$70 for the stock 95 cam.
