Default Need help planing

I'll start off with my current set up:
Ram air
Ls6 intake
X-pipe and corsa exhaus
130 shot of n2o

Ok now I want to build my engine a bit but plan on going with FI later with nos. If I wanted to buil my engine for a bigger shot would I be building just as if I was building for FI?( I'm assuming yes) also where do I start/ go from here. I will only be able to do a little at a time, well top end then bottom end. What kind of numbers do I look for when it comes to a cam, heads? Higher "cc" or lower? I don't know anything about the numbers for the cam either.

AlSo if I build for FI and don't have a supercharger/turbo will I still see a increase in hp and tq? Or will it slow me down until I go FI?
