Can I cast a pump spell or removal after blockers are declared?
Several community members give the same answer in the forum threads; no official ruling.

After blockers are declared, both players get priority and can cast instants before damage. Combat damage does not use the stack and cannot be responded to, so a pump spell has to come before damage is dealt.
