Actually the low CR of the 360 would lend itself to a blower since the blower provides an artificial CR increase.....That does not mean the stock pistons or con rods would live long tho!!!!!!

By the time you got the compression high enough to be worth while you would be in the detonation zone with that lack of quench a 360 has, buckets too deep in the hole. The parasitic drag alone from the huffer would strain those skinny little rods.
