You can run an intercooler on a blower, but to fab one up to run on your d-series would be way more cost and trouble than it's worth.

Better than most swaps and easier. Maybe even cheaper...

Do you have any idea what the level 10 stuff is? It's a new valvebody and a chip that increases trans line pressure, and makes the trans shift quicker. It is not magically going to make the trans take a bunch more power than it would have before, it's a waste of money to try and do anything to your car with an automatic.
The compression wouldn't hurt just low end power, it would hurt power all across the powerband because you would have to pull out timing everywhere to keep you away from detonation. And no, the JRSC + trans mods would not be easier, cheaper, or more reliable than a motor swap. With a haynes manual, you could do a B16 swap in one weekend, and it would cost you around 2300 bucks. Save up some more money, buy a turbo kit, and you will have a ton more power than your D-series would. Or of course you could swap to a manual trans and build up the D, but you arn't going anywhere with the auto.
