I should say don't change the oil yet. Wait till' you reach abt. 1000 mi. Enjoy your ride pare (bro).

There is a little bit of a dry start but the 5w30 will flow to the parts quickly. I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you changed the oil, it wouldn't touch enough parts. Think about how small the oil fill is. Once the oil is poured in, it will just touch the top of one of the cam lobes then, drain down to the pan, where the oil is currently.

I would not add any oil to an already full engine. Overfilling the engine could ruin it.
