I'd go with a Vortech blower and do the h/c later, if you do the h/c now you'll need a cam for your current set up and then later you decide to add a blower you will need another cam.
With what you have done now an SC-Trim would be the best bang for your buck, just my opinion.

Blower first. If you buy the heads first, then the blower later its going to leave you longing for bigger heads. Trust me I know.

im surprised everyone hasn't started screaming for the AFR 165's!
if your leak down and compression check out fine i would buy a supercharger also.
If they dont then i would start buynig parts for a 331 or 347. you cant shoot a cannon out of a canoe.

I would do the AFR 165's or the TFS TW Stage 1 from Summit, Comp cam XE, and a RPM ll intake port matched. Throw the blower on later.

I'd go blower first. If not, then I'm going to suggest AFR 185s and a custom cam.
