You could run a relatively low boost Eaton combo with that compression with little or no trouble at all so long as the tune was good. Looking to a centri blower for the low to mid range grunt you mentioned, is a step in the wrong direction IMO.
Discharge temps from an Eaton at 3 - 6 psi should be low enough that it won't cost you much in the way of timing (although it will cost some but they are VERY thermally efficient in these ranges). I would think that a setup like this would give you a huge change in throttle grunt. Just keep boost pressures low and don't try to overspin the blower.

If you are used to 350 cid, then there is not a lot that can be done but go back to it (or better). You could put a 347 together for "resonable" money. Or you could just drop in a 351w roller motor. That's what Ford did in '95. Should be an almost direct swap. You'll need headers, oil pan/pickup and a distributor. Of course guys are taking their 351s out to about 100 cid more than that, too.
God luck in you search for power!!!
your first mistake sir was thinking that the horsepower bug wasnt going to bite you.....at 10:1 compression, the tune is crucial with any power adder. my recommendation would be nitrous over a blower though. it will give you the low end that you want that a centrifugal blower cant provide.Being less experienced initially, I thought putting a H/C/I and getting a 5.0 beyond the power of my old LT1 would be enough.
