If you have a very tight budget, and you have to have more horsepower, then just bolt on a nitrous kit. It will likely put an undue stress on your engine, but it will deliver your horsepower, for a while.
The better solution is to pull your engine and ship it to one of the reputable engine builders and have them give you an upgrade. At a minimum, head work and a cam... but if you can afford it, maybe a nice stroker crank for increased cubic inches -- the builders on here do it all day long.
Personally, I wouldn't even consider the blower option until you had maxed out your engine build. Pulling your engine and shipping it off may seem like a PITA, but it will turn out to be the easiest option for you. Of course, while it's out, new clutch, pressure plate, TOB and pilot. Most of the reputable builders can give you a non-binding "quote range" after a reasonably short chat.
And what would I do? Sell the 302 on Ebay and put in a big block.
