H/C set up with procharger in mind for the future
Hey all currently I have a stock (with the exception of exhaust and lid) 01 formula m6 with about 46k miles on it. What I am wondering is if there is a good head and cam setup that will net me some nice power that later on I can through a Procharger on it and i wont have to worry about the compression being too high as stock I believe is already 10 to 1.Any suggestions would be great.

So there is no n/a set up that can net me a nice gain without having to change it later for a FI set up? Is there a set of heads that would net me some nice power that would not hurt a FI set up later? And if I went with a heads and cam set up n/a would the only thing I would have to change be the cam to go FI?

Sure there is but there is a problem. You can have H/C-only and be fine at that power level with a stock short block. You can have FI-only and be OK at that power level with a stock short block. But add H/C AND FI and you will have exceeded the power level that would be "safe/durable" on a stock short block.
So to answer the OP yes you can have a head cam that will add power till you get a SC.
Cam like a 224/230 .581/.590 114+1 LSA and Stage 2 (2.02/1.57) CNC 241 heads, unmilled.
This is just 1 exemple. Add a SC to that at about 7lbs boost and you have a solid 550+ rwhp setup.
