Blower for 360 small block

So I have just bought a old school race car build in the mid 80s and has had work done to it over the years. It is a mid 11s car with all the good to go with it . Now I want to put a big blower on it and a street scoope, I know the engine can handle it cause it is around the 480 hp mark and still going strong after 100 runs on the track. The only reason why I want a blower is so I finally have a car with one on it for the collection. thanks for any help that I can get.

There is more to it than just bolting on a blower.. What is the compression of the motor now ??I would start by figuring what type of cam is in the motor and do a compression test, Record the results and call one of the blower mfg.. for recomendations or you could end up with a big boat anchor.

You'll need to find out the engine's current compression first. If it is too high, the blower can't give too much boost.

the copression ratio is 10.1 and the cam is unknown at this time I know that it is lump with a good idle.
