Default Any Issues with running FI setup N/A?

I will soon be ordering my motor for my procharger build. My funds are tight right now and school may delay my buying the procharger kit. If I go ahead and build the motor with low compression and set up everything for FI, will I have any issues getting it tuned and running it NA? I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything.

Thanks

If your current motor is wroking than just buy the short block, Store it untill your ready to install everything. If ur going 408 or somthing you may pick up some power, But a low compression 347-370 n/a you will turn your car into a slug. Just stack parts and take your time.

You don't necessarily have to setup the motor to be low compression. Most would say a good number to shoot for is 9.5:1. It wouldn't too bad NA like that. Mine is aound 10.0:1, give or take. I'm sure if I had to run it NA it wouldn't feel too sluggish. I have considered doing that as Prochareger wants $2200 to repair my f1c blower...
