easy engine question

alright i wanna know what things i can do to my engine but still be able to supercharge it. so petty much i just got to keep the compression down right? well what kind of things can change the compression? with just a cam and head change(AFR 190's) would my compression change any? Also, last question, what are some low cost super chargers, the Prochargers look kinda pricy?

A head change will only change your compression if the combustion chamber is a diffent volume than the heads you are removing. If you change thickness of your head gasket or bore size of your head gasket it will change your compression. How much compression you want to have is dependant on how much boost you want to run. More boost=less compression.
