Thanks for your input, guys.
Here's the cam card:

Pamp,
The rear is a 4.11, with a 2.52 first gear. I know that "big" and "little" are subjective terms when talking cams, I meant "little" in that it was below .500 lift and is in the 280s avd. duration. My budget is pretty small, probably $1000 when all is said and done. Time is the bitch though. I've been strapped for days to work on it and dealing with a bottom end rebuild would suck up the little time I've got. That's not to say that I'm not considering changing pistons and the like, just that I'm trying to stay away from that route if I can.
And as for the blower, that's the first thing I thought of (joking of course). Great compression for that type of thing but too bad they are cast pistons, on a stock bottom end!
