A roots/twin screw supercharger works pretty good at that.

Yeah, the top mount supercharger is really hard to beat when it comes to early torques. If you do not want to drop that sort of coin, then raising the compression will help with early torque production. You could get your heads decked and use a thinner head gasket, but you have to use good fuel with high compression. Stepped tube headers, a custom cam, and a good tune would all really help, as well.
