tsquini said:You have cold air returns in the basement? If so, get the cold air returns to pull the hot air from the basement to the rest of the house. You can cut back the air flow into the first floor cold air returns by 50%. This will pull more air from the basement into the rest of the house.

Just place 3 floor vents in the hallway on the first floor. You could also place a floor vent in each room on the first floor. This way the heat doesn't have to go all the way to the stairs and up.
Some good ideas. Which room(s) would you suggest cutting back on the cold air return.
Regards the 3 floor vents in the hallway on first floor ..... are you talking heating vents or just "vents"?
